My handwriting is best with a cheap Pilot G2 10 gel pen. But the Le Grand was a gift from my mother when I graduated from college. To me, it is priceless. You would never pay that much for a pen. But you might pay that amount or more to go to a concert or the theatre. The price of the ticket to an event may seem outrageous to some, but you easily trade your money for the value that the event creates for you, namely the experience.
Do you have a valuable collection of baseball cards or Barbie dollars in the house? They could be worth more or less than you ever dreamed. I undertook a pandemic project a few weeks ago and took out bins of old baseball cards from a storage room. Like many kids of the 80s, I dreamed the cards would someday be worth thousands, or millions of dollars.
You can search for each card or doll or basket on websites but there is an easier way. Use a search engine. If your item is a more general item and not a rare collectible or antique, try using a search engine like Google. When you type in the item, it will often list similar items for sale, including new and used options. You can also use the "shopping" function to quickly compare items and prices.
Visit an online database. Look for online databases that offer pricing information for your item. Use your preferred search engine, type in your item, and then include the word database. Kovels is an online database that offers a free subscription to its pricing guide.
Search an online valuation site. There are many sites online where professional appraisers or subject matter experts offer estimates on your items. Simply upload a photo and add descriptions. The site will typically respond within a week with a valuation of the item. Some sites have monthly memberships which give the user access to a database of sales records, and instant price searches.
Method 2. Visit a certified appraiser. There are professional appraisers for almost every item. When seeking an appraiser, choose a professional who is certified by the American Society of Appraisers, the Appraisers Association of America, or the International Society of Appraisers. Once the appraisal is complete, you will receive a written report discussing the item, the procedure used to value it, and the current value of the item.
In order to ensure a fair valuation, take the item to an appraiser before taking it to a local antique store or dealer. Unlike individual dealers, the appraiser will have no conflict of interest, since they are ethically bound from making an offer for purchase after appraising an item.
Bank managers or estate attorneys are often good sources to help find reputable appraisers. Take the item to an antique store. Many antique stores also employ professional appraisers.
Contact your local antique store to discuss appraisal options. Appraisers should still be certified by a national appraisal board. They often offer insurance replacement valuations or fair-market valuations, but they also offer less-expensive services such as verbal-approximations. Contact a collectibles dealer. If your item is a collectible which has well-established price guidelines such as baseball cards , search online for a collectible dealer to assist in pricing your item.
Search for someone who is certified by a national appraisal board for the fairest valuation judgments. Read reviews about them online, if possible. Visit auction houses. Auction houses offer private valuation services for various fees based on location. Their website also offers online appraisals. Method 3. Utilize a price guide.
