[Marcus Goo]

Recently i just bought an antique violin from my oversea friend. Just wondering is there any appraisal service in Singapore that your can recommended to me? I just saw this post from Tong Ming Xi Gallery, is there anyone know about this guy?or any recommendation to get appraisal service in Singapore?

Thank You!

I watch a lot of pawnstars and storage wars. Did you really just spent $100K on a violin ? maybe it's just paranoia or the influence of the episodes i watched (esp the one with stradivarius violin). a lot of stuff seems to be fake or too good to be true.
