I still have a question regarding the value. Will the wicker need to be repaired in order to be the quoted value

I would say very user friendly. I know there are many details/nuances on items that need to be appraised -- I am new to this experience so I left out a few details that could have helped streamline the process. With a quick reply the team helped me get the most out of my request! Thank you!

Cheers,

Charles

Very clever and efficient service. I think it links the right experts with the people from around the world to gain insightful knowledge about their pieces of art, treasures or antiques.
I was fractionally doubtful at the moment of engaging their services, however all of it was gone very quickly due to their prompt replies, their realistic prognosis on what they can deliver, what is unachievable and the timeline they would deliver the results.
My dreams about my object were cleared. Thank you very much from New Zealand.

If all I needed to do was Google the Internet to see the value of my antique paintings I would have done so and saved myself the fee. He called them new replicas when clearly they have been in their frames for a very very long time. I will take them to a legitimate art dealer where I can get a more detailed and accurate appraisal.

In addition to valuing my items professionally, with valuable and reliable information that I have learned I can trust, their service is personalized in the way that they have taken care of me. They obviously value every customer personally, and want every customer highly satisfied and pleased. I felt as if I was working with them in person as opposed to online, and that they really cared about what they were doing for me, which made all our business very pleasurable.

We have a antique shop and your service has added great value to help us with pricing. Half the battle and getting a full and accurate description of the item with some history. The last few appraisals have come in much lower then our sold price. Some of that could be due to low comps or a rapidly changing market.

For $28 I got a value. That's it: no evidence there was any real work done, nothing to give to, say, an insurance company, no discussion of how they came to their conclusion, no comparables, nothing. The "certificate" you get is 6 pages of reminders of how you may not use or rely on it. Essentially 6 pages of how $28 gets you what you pay for.

Appraiser did not take the time to attempt to discern the partial Maker Mark, therefore, could not properly evaluate the item.

This appraisal is a total scam I sent my pics, receipt and all pertinent info on a clarinet the receipt is over a year old and for $2245 the appraisal came back stating this item is worth between $2,000 and $3,000 WHAT?! I was paying for an actual appraisal then they tried to link me to an auction --all the reviews are 1 star except two which are obviously fake! Don't waste your time or money! I called and emailed no response!
Luckily I am getting my $15 bucks back through my cc company because I filed a scam complaint. :)

I specifically mentioned that the base of an item was made of brass. By a picture, the appraiser insisted that it is wood. I asked for a redetermination. It was late and unchanged. The manager who monitors the mailbox was indifferent. She suggested I take it somewhere in person. No apologies for my time or cost.

The information I've provided has been reiterated, and having a report written with the money I paid is disappointing. I'm aware that this product is not listed. If it's not listed, I do not accept the conditions under which a price was set for this product. I'm looking for a more satisfactory response.
Please also provide me with the prices of similar coins that were sold during the same emperor's era. If there are no coins from this emperor's period, I would like to know how this fee was determined. I'm awaiting your response to this question.

It would be nice if you could also add a retail value in your categories. As auctions price is usually lower than retail, and insurance is usually higher. When looking for an appraisal, I'm more interested in finding out what my item is worth on the retail market. Auction price is good, if by some chance I get lucky enough to find a really valuable item that would sell for more in an auction.

I just guessing most people looking for an appraisal, are looking for retail value

The only hard part was moving the heavy sofa to get a picture of the back. I had an old settee with a hand-carved wooden frame that a relative thought might be very valuable. I wanted to get rid of it, but didn't know whether to auction it or give it away. Turns out it was worth very little. I'm giving it away and making room for more comfortable, practical furniture.

Very pleased so far... all of my items are for insurance purposes. I want to know what it will cost me to find the exact same item if lost! Which is very expensive... i just wish they could find me a buyer who will pay what they say its worth?

I found that from the very beginning, the Value My Stuff website clearly explained the three easy steps at requesting a valuation. The basic information requested from me, as well as photographic images were an easy matter to undertake; the website is one of the easiest to work through. Most surprising was the expeditious manner in which my request for valuation was handled, and the results returned to me. Overall a most satisfying result from this highly professional and skilled company.
