How to sell a Michael Jackson autograph without getting it verified?
Simone asks:
I have a Michael Jackson autograph that I know for a fact is real because I got it signed in person. How can I sell this without paying to have it verified?
AW says: There are several ways to do this, but here’s a little trick I like to use when selling autographs on eBay.
In my description I state:
“I fully guarantee the validity of this autograph. The terms of the guarantee are as follows. I will fully refund your $ if an eBay recognized certification service claims otherwise.
The cost of certification is the responsibility of the the buyer. “
This lets the buyer know you have confidence in your autograph without you having to absorb the cost of certification. It’s not as good as certification, but it’s a close second.
Other things you can do are to give details on where you got the merchandise, provide a picture of you with the celebrity, provide good photos and links to pictures of other autographs by that celebrity which have been deemed authentic.
See the slide show below for examples of Michael Jackson autographs.
