What is the name of your state? Washington State
I purchased an autograph for $1350.00 from a collectible store in Seattle that seemed to be reputable. Over 10 years later I had the piece authenticated only to find out that the autographs purchased were forgeries.
I have contacted the store owner and because there is a certificate of authenticity from his store on the back of the piece he is willing to give me half my money back because I can't produce a receipt.
Do I have any chance of getting all of my money back if I go to small claims court? He has a record of how much he was listing the piece for but because I don't have a receipt he can't know whether I bought it on sale or "haggled" the price down.
I do know that if the pieces were real they would be valued at the same price I purchased them for.
What would you do in this situation?
