Review content:
If you are looking to get an honest appraisal value of an item, collection, or estate, go to an ASA/ISA professional who has no vested interest in profiting from your belongings. If you're looking to unload some gold scrap or need some quick cash, Mark Lawson Antiques is a legitimate alternative.
Honestly, I think Mark is a good businessman who has grabbed the coattails of the Antiques Roadshow and held on for the ride. He is not the least bit interested in your antique or it's provenance, only how much cash he can make from it. And that's not what the Antiques Roadshow is about.
Sadly, I went to him for evaluation and advice, hoping he could point me in the direction of a local auction house that specialized in fine jewelry (or tell me if his business had one coming up). I had no intention of selling my item on the spot. (Hey, he offers free evaluations, doesn't he?) Once it was clear that I was not going to sell him my item for a very low price, he showed me the door. But he really showed me that he has no class. He gives the Antique Roadshow a bad name.
I will continue my search using the American Society of Appraisers and International Society of Apprisers; organizations which Mark Lawson does not claim to be a member of on his business card or Web site.
