Antique and Collectibles Appraisals

Need a free appraisal of your antiques and collectibles? Use this form!

What type of appraisal do you need? There are several types of appraisals. We will work with you to provide the market evaluation that best suits your needs. Most importantly, do you need a written or verbal appraisal? The main difference is that you will have to pay for a written appraisal.

If your goal is to determine the potential of your item for auction sale, usually you only need a verbal evaluation. We will provide an initial review of your item or collection at no cost or obligation. This evaluation can be very valuable when making your decision to sell at auction or selling to a dealer or at a tag sale. Use our simple appraisal form to submit an item for review.  Contact us to set up an evaluation of a large estate or collection.

If your needs are for insurance or estate valuation, our staff includes accredited and experienced appraisal services. It is important to know that appraisal valuations can be based on very different pricing criteria. Speak to one of our department specialists to find out if you need an auction market value, retail market value, estate and inheritance value or an insurance replacement value.

We invite you to do research on your own with our searchable auction results. Our searchable database is free of charge and includes thousands of items sold since 2004.
