- Read reviews of similar items online so you know what to expect.
- For high-value items, get an expert’s feedback. For example, if you’re buying a cell phone, plan to meet at a carrier store to have the phone verified as unlocked and in working order. For expensive antiques or jewelry, get a certified appraisal.
