Appraisal Services
We’ve seen many reasons that clients need to have their collections appraised, including (but not limited to):
Probate
Settling the estate of a loved one
Insurance
Covering your bases or dealing with an accident
Divorce
Pursuing an equitable division of assets
Estate Planning
Getting your own affairs in order
Or maybe you just aren’t sure what you have, and you want more information about it! Whatever your needs, we can meet them.
We offer two different appraisal services, each at a rate of $50/hr. If you aren’t sure which appraisal level you need, don’t worry! We’ll talk through it with you and help you decide.
Replacement Value
Advised for most insurance, divorce, and probate purposes where you do NOT intend to sell the collection. This report will show you how much it would cost to re-purchase all of the items in the collection at current retail values.
Resale Value
Advised for situations where the intent is to sell the collection. This report will detail a realistic price you should expect to be paid if you sold the collection to a professional. This value is always LOWER than the Replacement Value.
Just set up an appointment and bring your collection to our secure office for appraisal. We will make you an offer after the appraisal, and if we purchase the collection from you, the appraisal is half-price!
