There's a good chance I'll use this service again, after my uncle passed away I got some historical photographs that I did not want in my house but may have had some value worth throwing at my student loans. They dont really, but even so I got really nice information about the photos themselves and clarified the family lore around the event which has kinda had the telephone game applied to it over the years and across the atlantic. Other appraisers in my area want to come meet on location, and that's nice but I was glad to be able to do this over the internet.

Very unhappy with this appraisal. It was a biased "opinion" rather than an unbiased appraisal. Now that I realize they aren't based in the USA it makes sense as to why the appraiser had no knowledge of Marble Arms. But it still was terrible. Definitely would never use again or recommend to anyone. I should note that they gave me a full refund since I was so unhappy. Still not happy with the appraisal but at least they did right by me.

We had an item that we purchased at a charity event. Years later, we decided to sell the item and asked ValueMyStuff to look at it. As it turns out, what we bought was not what we were told it was. Ouch.

The staff at ValuMyStuff took the time to educate us on why they declined to place a value on the item, along with responding to our inquiries after the fact about how to best address the current situation.

While it hurts to spend money on items that are not authentic (even though we received two certificates of authenticity), it prevented us from reselling an item that was a forgery.

I will trust them again in the future.

I recently had my 1916 Wireless Crystal Radio receiver appraised. The appraiser went above and beyond and even contacted the Edison Institute where it is was de-accessioned from the Ford museum to add even greater provenance. I was stunned at the level of detail the appraiser put in their notes. I got far more than what I paid for monetarily. I have had several of my antiques and antiquities appraised and I have been impressed with their acumen in a variety of art disciplines. It is very hard to ascertain values without inspection and they do a great job at an extremely reasonable price. I pay more for a trip to McDonalds than I did for the expert appraisal that I received... lol - the price is just outstanding for the service provided. I think this is a fantastic way to get a quick look to make informed decisions on a particular piece. I would highly recommend their services to anyone seeking to get clarity on a hard to research piece or in general want to know more what the market brings.

Among the long list of things that need to be done to settle an estate is attaching value to assets. In our families' case, there were items that we knew had some value, but how much? These items included sculpture, and prints and other artwork that has great sentimental value and will likely not leave our family. But still, lawyers need to know the value.
I found this site and was impressed with the ease of use. I enjoyed the step by step process that also assisted in good methods for staging items for photographing.
I was impressed with the pedigree of the experts involved with assessing items.
The customer service end of this operation is excellent. I was responded to immediately and follow up was helpful.

I received a very detailed and quick response. I would use them again. I wish the link to auction items worked.

Whoever the so called expert was that appraised my print clearly just did a quick internet search to value it. The signatures on my print are the true value. Plus the fact it is obtainable only in the secondary market also increases the value. I won't be wasting my time on any other appraisals. After reviewing my appraisal certificate it would also appear the artists birth and death dates are incorrect as he was not born in 1923 but 1961 and is still very much alive.

I was pleasantly reminded that there are still beautiful souls in the world. I needed an appraisal in exactly 48 hours or I would lose the only opportunity I would have to purchase my late mother's china. I had some issues following their directions. Somewhere between downloading the photos, purchasing and then using the credit to get the china appraised something happened and the entire transaction was lost. Of course it took 48 hours to find that out.

When I tried the second time I explained about my failed first attempt and what it meant, and asked if 48 hours was the expected or average turn around time.

Within hours, along with an apology and the reassurance that they were working on making their website more user-friendly, I received word that a specialist was able to complete my appraisal in record time.

It's nice to know that there are some companies that are still able to treat each customer as an individual human being and not just a Confirmation #.
I will be singing VMS's praises to everyone and anyone who will listen.
And being able to compare other appraisals of similar sets if and when made available will be of great help as well.

I needed 10 appraisals and paid $100. They said they would have the appraisals done within 48 hours. Since I submitted them on a Friday, I didn't expect them until Monday. But, sure enough, on Sunday, I received all the appraisals as promised. And all of them were thorough and detailed. And not only that--when I emailed them with a question, they got back to me RIGHT AWAY! They are awesome and I would recommend them to anyone who needs a true and quick appraisal. I am now thinking of using their auction service!
