We took two pieces of jewelry to Hudson- Poole for an appraisal. I spoke to someone in May to have them notify me of the date that the appraiser would be in. Not one time did he mention that it would be $150.00 for me to have them appraised. I have a jeweler in Birmingham who customized my engagement ring that would have been happy to appraise them for me at no cost.
