at face value

The city council made an offer to buy the building at market value.

Now my mother has given me something, and would like you to give a guess at its value.

I always take at face value what they say to me.

But who can take such an image at face value now?

Nothing at face value, always take another point of view!

But after much thought he decided to take the play of the jack at face value.

I was not taking the Taken at face value either.

But not people to be taken always at face value, either.

I'm not saying we should take him at face value.

Not everyone would take that at its face value, but she did.
