This place is a complete jo my ke. I've had several things appraised by them and each time they come back with the lowest most insulting appraisals. One of the items I have appraised and they stated it was valued at $50 sold at auction for $4600. Imagine how many people listen to their valuation and sell their items for next to nothing because this company tells them it's not worth anything. They also had the nerve to double their price this year. Christie's, sotherby, and heritage all do free valuations with trained buyers not just a bunch of jerks behind a computer.

VMS C. – ValueMyStuff Rep

Hi there, we're so sorry to hear you were disappointed with your reports.

We have been operating for over 10 years and served many happy customers. We take feedback really seriously, so many thanks for your comment, but it would be great if you could contact us via email (info@valuemystuff.com) so that we can address your concerns directly.

Many of our specialists have worked at Sotheby’s, Christie’s and Bonhams and the company was founded by Sotheby’s Director, Patrick van der Vorst, so we do have an excellent level of expertise and knowledge of the market.

You are absolutely correct that larger auction houses provide free valuations, however, they will usually only do this for items above their sale threshold. Furthermore, there is no guaranteed return time (we provide reports in 24 or 48 hours), nor do they provide a full report with insurance values, cataloguing and extra notes.

Valuations are, by their nature, a matter of opinion and we can only form a judgment on the images and information submitted to us. Occasionally, a difference in opinion does occur but we warmly welcome follow-up questions.

We certainly hope that you do get in contact and look forward to hearing from you.

All the best,
VMS

I thought the appraisal was free - my bad.

Had to submit 3 times for it to take. But once the site worked it seemed easy.
