General Appraisal Tutorial
Everyday we receive requests for reference information from people who would like very low cost or free appraisals, often along these lines:
- I have spent hours looking for information and values for some china I inherited recently, but can't find anything out about it.
- We have looked everywhere for the company that made our silverware, could you please help?
- Is there anywhere I can find out what my artwork is worth or something about the artist?
- How can I tell if my old books are valuable or even worth keeping?
- Is there anyway I can find out about my sewing machines age?
For this reason we decided to develop an easy to use Appraisal tutorials online, based on the same one we offer at Community Colleges. The tutorial covers a wide range of Antiques & Collectibles and this same information would cost you $140.00 as part of our 30 hour College
course.
As part of the Tutorial you also get access to many of the same reference bookmarks we use for our Online Appraisal Service. The tutorial and reference links will be continually upgraded with new information added as it becomes available, all sites listed here provide free information for the following topics:
