What to send by text

  1. Text a full-item photo and a close-up of each signature or identifying detail.

Before you do anything: Keep certificates and purchase paperwork with the item. If you do not have them, say so—Jim can tell you whether a closer look is useful.

A signature in a photo is not an authentication or a guaranteed offer. Jim needs to review the item and any supporting information before discussing a purchase.
