How do I find out the price of an item available on Veracity Connect?

Veracity Connect will publish pricing when available, however not all items will have pricing. We will ask the seller for their target sales price so we can help them understand if their desired price is in line with what we understand to be the fair market value and so we can help buyers who make offers understand the viability of their offer. The best way to understand the price of an item is to use the Request Quote button to get emailed listing details. At that time you have an option to make an offer in the Message field. You can also contact the Veracity Connect team to discuss a potential offer.


Who do I contact if I have questions?
