Appraisal Via Email
If your assets are unavailable for our appraisers to examine virtually, onsite, or are bulk surplus inventory, our email appraisal procedure is for you.
ValuePros appraisers use the image(s) and description you share to appraise the item/set. A set consists of multiple different items with a matching theme that sold new as a set. Common sets include bedroom furniture sets, sterling flatware sets, a set of fine china, a crystal stemware set, etc. In some instances (charitable donation) a Grouping Appraisal is acceptable. A valid grouping is similar like-kind, quality, and valued items that are appraisal fee-prohibitive to appraise individually.
