One account to buy. The free ✓ Verified store badge to sell. Buyers and sellers never see each other’s names.

Open an account and buy

An email address and a password. Nothing else to buy up to the limits below.

01

Open an account

On app.cgemx.com, with your email and a password. Your name is never shown to other members.

02

Buy or make an offer

Pay by card at the price you see, or offer from 70% of it: a hold on your card, charged only if the seller accepts.

03

See it first, if you like

A CGEMX inspection, credited back if you buy, or the CGEMX viewing facility, free.

04

Above the limits

Up to US$10,000 a purchase and US$15,000 in any 30 days without an ID check. Above that, a passport and a selfie, checked by CGEMX.

The ✓ Verified store badge

Only Verified stores can sell. The badge is free: CGEMX checks your company documents and your standing in the trade. Open an account, fill in your business details in Settings and apply there. Or tell us about your store below and we will guide you through it. This is what to have ready.
