DMAI Pro for Antiques & collectibles
Antique dealers, coin/stamp sellers and buyers of old items who both buy and sell on Instagram. Two main flows: (1) people send photos of items for a purchase offer; (2) collectors ask about unique listed pieces. Authenticity, provenance, condition and heritage law (no trading or exporting antiquities without permits) underpin every conversation, and valuations come only from the expert.
