1. Purpose of This Policy
This High-Value Transactions Policy establishes additional safeguards and requirements that may apply to high-value transactions conducted through or in connection with AntiqList.
High-value transactions can involve increased risks relating to fraud, counterfeit goods, stolen property, payment disputes, authenticity, provenance, shipping, insurance, taxation, customs, and legal compliance.
2. Scope
This Policy applies to transactions involving items that AntiqList considers high-value or higher-risk.
It may apply to:
antiques;
fine art;
jewelry;
watches;
coins;
rare collectibles;
historical objects;
luxury goods;
manuscripts;
furniture;
decorative arts;
cultural heritage objects; and
other items presenting elevated transaction risk.
3. What Constitutes a High-Value Transaction
AntiqList may determine that a transaction is high-value based on the advertised price, transaction value, item category, seller history, buyer activity, risk indicators, or other relevant circumstances.
AntiqList may establish different thresholds or requirements for different categories, jurisdictions, or services.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, publication of a price does not mean that a transaction has been approved, authenticated, insured, or guaranteed by AntiqList.
4. AntiqList's Role
AntiqList generally provides an online marketplace through which buyers and sellers may discover and communicate about items.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, AntiqList is not:
the seller;
the buyer;
the owner;
the authenticator;
the appraiser;
the insurer;
the shipping carrier;
the customs authority; or
the guarantor of a transaction.
The parties remain responsible for complying with applicable laws and contractual obligations.
5. Additional Due Diligence
AntiqList may apply additional due diligence procedures to high-value transactions.
These procedures may include requests for:
identity information;
seller verification;
business information;
ownership information;
provenance;
authenticity documentation;
invoices;
certificates;
photographs;
shipping information;
transaction information; or
other information reasonably necessary for risk assessment.
6. Seller Verification
High-value sellers may be required to complete additional verification before listing or completing certain transactions.
Verification requirements may vary according to:
transaction value;
item category;
seller type;
seller location;
transaction history; and
applicable legal requirements.
Seller verification does not constitute authentication of the listed item.
7. Buyer Verification
In certain circumstances, AntiqList or a relevant service provider may require additional buyer verification.
This may be necessary to:
prevent fraud;
protect payment systems;
comply with legal obligations;
prevent account abuse; or
manage high-risk transactions.
8. Identity Information
Where verification is required, users must provide accurate information.
Users must not:
impersonate another person;
provide false identity information;
use another person's account;
submit altered documentation; or
intentionally conceal relevant identity information.
Additional privacy requirements are addressed in the applicable Privacy Policy.
9. Business and Professional Sellers
Professional sellers and businesses may be required to provide appropriate business information where reasonably necessary.
This may include:
legal business name;
business contact information;
registration information;
tax information where applicable;
authorized representative information; and
required licenses or permits.
10. Beneficial Ownership
Where legally required or reasonably necessary for compliance or risk management, AntiqList or its service providers may request information concerning beneficial ownership or persons controlling a business account.
11. Authenticity
High-value items should be supported by appropriate authenticity information where reasonably available.
Sellers must not falsely represent an item as:
authentic;
original;
signed;
period;
rare;
museum quality;
historically significant; or
otherwise genuine.
AntiqList does not automatically authenticate high-value items merely because they are listed or subject to additional verification.
12. Independent Authentication
For significant purchases, buyers are encouraged to obtain independent authentication or expert evaluation where appropriate.
Depending on the item, appropriate specialists may include:
qualified art experts;
horologists;
numismatists;
jewelry specialists;
conservators;
antique specialists;
scientific testing laboratories; or
other suitably qualified professionals.
13. Provenance
Sellers should provide truthful provenance information where available.
For high-value historical objects, art, antiques, and collectibles, provenance may be particularly important.
Sellers must not fabricate:
ownership history;
auction history;
collection history;
museum associations;
historical associations;
purchase records; or
other provenance information.
14. Provenance Gaps
A lack of complete provenance does not automatically establish that an item is counterfeit or unlawfully owned.
However, significant provenance gaps may represent an important risk factor and should not be concealed where material to the transaction.
15. Stolen or Disputed Property
High-value items must not knowingly be sold where the seller does not have lawful ownership or authority to sell.
If credible information indicates that an item may be stolen, unlawfully obtained, or subject to a legitimate ownership dispute, AntiqList may restrict or remove the listing.
16. Cultural Heritage and Archaeological Objects
High-value cultural heritage or archaeological objects may be subject to additional scrutiny.
Sellers may be required to provide information concerning:
provenance;
ownership;
excavation history;
export authorization;
import documentation;
cultural property permits; and
other legally relevant documentation.
The Cultural Heritage & Archaeological Items Policy applies in addition to this Policy.
17. Counterfeit and Fraud Risks
High-value transactions are particularly susceptible to counterfeit and fraud attempts.
AntiqList may apply enhanced measures where there are indicators of:
counterfeit goods;
forged documents;
fake provenance;
fake authentication;
identity fraud;
payment fraud;
stolen property;
manipulated listings; or
coordinated fraudulent activity.
18. Pricing
Sellers are responsible for accurately stating the price of an item.
A high price does not establish authenticity, rarity, provenance, or value.
Likewise, an unusually low price may represent a potential risk indicator but does not by itself prove that an item is counterfeit or fraudulent.
19. Valuation
AntiqList does not generally provide professional valuation services.
Users should obtain independent valuation advice when the financial significance of a transaction makes professional valuation appropriate.
20. Investment Claims
Users must not represent an antique, artwork, collectible, watch, jewelry item, or other object as a guaranteed investment.
Claims concerning future appreciation or financial returns must not be misleading or unsupported.
21. Payment Security
High-value transactions should use secure payment methods appropriate to the transaction.
Users should be cautious of requests for:
cryptocurrency;
gift cards;
unusual payment channels;
payments to unrelated persons;
urgent wire transfers;
unverified escrow services; or
payments outside agreed transaction procedures.
22. Payment Confirmation
A seller must not release an item solely because a buyer provides a screenshot, email, or message claiming that payment has been completed.
Payment should be independently confirmed through the applicable payment system or financial institution.
23. Third-Party Payment Providers
Where AntiqList uses third-party payment providers, payment processing may be subject to those providers' own terms, verification requirements, fraud controls, and limitations.
AntiqList does not control the internal decisions of independent payment providers.
24. Bank Transfers
Bank transfers may involve increased fraud risk.
Users should independently verify recipient details before transferring funds.
AntiqList is not responsible for losses resulting from a user's voluntary transfer to an incorrect or fraudulent account, except to the extent liability cannot lawfully be excluded.
25. Escrow Services
If an escrow or similar transaction service is offered, users should review the applicable service terms before relying on it.
Users must not use fraudulent or unauthorized escrow services claiming to be affiliated with AntiqList.
26. Off-Platform Transactions
Users should exercise particular caution when high-value transactions are moved outside AntiqList.
Off-platform transactions may not benefit from any platform features, records, payment controls, dispute procedures, or safeguards that may otherwise apply.
Users must not use off-platform arrangements to circumvent AntiqList policies or applicable legal requirements.
27. Communication Records
For significant transactions, users are encouraged to retain relevant communications and documentation.
This may include:
listing details;
photographs;
descriptions;
invoices;
payment records;

cracks;
missing components;
replaced parts;
alterations;

serial numbers;
labels;
damage;
restoration;
inscriptions;
construction details; and
relevant documentation.

Documentation may include:
purchase receipts;
prior auction records;
professional reports;
certificates;
ownership records;
export permits;
import records;
historical photographs; or
other relevant evidence.
31. Documentation Does Not Automatically Establish Authenticity
A document or certificate does not necessarily establish that an item is genuine.
Buyers should evaluate the reliability, issuer, date, scope, and consistency of supporting documentation.
32. Fake Certificates
Fraudulent, altered, fabricated, or misleading certificates are prohibited.
AntiqList may take enforcement action where a user knowingly submits or relies upon fraudulent documentation.
33. Shipping High-Value Items
Sellers should use appropriate packaging and shipping arrangements for valuable items.
Depending on the circumstances, sellers may consider:
secure packaging;
tracking;
signature confirmation;
appropriate insurance;
specialized carriers; and
secure delivery procedures.
34. Shipping Insurance
Insurance availability and coverage depend on the selected carrier or insurer.
Users should verify:
coverage limits;
exclusions;
declared value requirements;
prohibited items;
claims procedures; and
geographic limitations.
AntiqList does not automatically insure high-value transactions unless expressly stated.
35. Delivery Confirmation
For significant transactions, proof of delivery may be particularly important.
Sellers should retain appropriate evidence of shipment and delivery.
Buyers should promptly report apparent non-delivery or damage.

Where permitted, users may arrange local pickup or in-person delivery.
For high-value items, parties should consider:
meeting in a secure location;
verifying identity;
inspecting the item;
confirming payment;
documenting handover; and
obtaining appropriate receipts.
Users should not place themselves in unsafe situations to complete a transaction.
37. Inspection Before Purchase

Inspection may help identify:
condition issues;
restoration;
modifications;
counterfeit characteristics;
discrepancies in dimensions or materials; and
inconsistencies with listing descriptions.

For significant transactions, buyers and sellers may wish to use a written agreement specifying:
item description;
price;
payment method;
delivery arrangements;
condition;
authenticity representations;
provenance representations;
return conditions;
applicable warranties, if any; and
responsibilities of each party.
39. Taxes and Customs
High-value international transactions may attract additional tax and customs requirements.
Buyers and sellers remain responsible for applicable:
taxes;
duties;
customs declarations;
import requirements;
export requirements;
permits; and
reporting obligations.
The Taxes & Customs Policy applies.

Certain high-value historical objects may be subject to export restrictions or permit requirements.
Users must not attempt to circumvent these restrictions through:
false declarations;
undervaluation;
false descriptions;

additional verification;
documentation requests;
listing restrictions;
transaction restrictions;
temporary holds where applicable;

authentication reports;

Where authenticity is disputed, AntiqList may request additional evidence and may restrict the listing while reviewing the issue.
AntiqList does not automatically act as an expert authenticator.

Where credible indicators of fraud exist, AntiqList may investigate account or listing activity.
Investigations may involve relevant internal records and, where appropriate and legally permitted, cooperation with third-party providers or competent authorities.
48. Temporary Transaction Restrictions

Temporary restrictions do not necessarily constitute a final determination of legal liability.

counterfeit-free;
dispute-free;
authentic;
legally compliant;
financially successful; or
completed without loss.
Users remain responsible for making informed decisions.

resale value;
investment performance;
appreciation;
market demand;
