Everything you need to know about getting free appraisals for your antiques and collectibles.
Do I need to know what my item is before submitting it?
No! Many users submit items they can't identify. Our AI analyzes visual details—style, materials, maker's marks, and construction—to help identify your item and provide context. If you're unsure what you have, that's exactly what we're here for.
What photos produce the best appraisal results?
Include clear, well-lit photos from multiple angles. Capture any signatures, marks, labels, or stamps. Show areas of wear or damage. Include a size reference (like a coin or ruler) when possible. The more visual detail you provide, the more accurate your appraisal will be.
Why do similar items sometimes have different values?
Value depends on many factors: condition, provenance, maker, age, rarity, and current market demand. Two seemingly identical items can differ significantly based on subtle details like signatures, regional variations, or documented history. Our appraisals explain which factors affect your specific item.
What if I don't see my item category listed?
Choose the most appropriate category from the list, or select "Other" at the bottom if nothing fits well. Then describe your item in your own words and upload clear photos. Our system draws on 25+ years of diverse appraisal data to analyze items across virtually all collectible categories—including unusual or hard-to-classify pieces.
Is InstAppraisal really free?
Yes—you can try 1 free appraisal without signing up. Free accounts get 3 appraisals per day. There are no hidden fees or credit card requirements for free use. Paid plans are available if you need more daily appraisals or want expert human review.
Can I use these appraisals for insurance or selling?
Our appraisals provide fair market value estimates useful for understanding worth and making informed decisions. For formal insurance documentation or estate purposes, we recommend our expert human review option or consulting a certified appraiser who can provide official documentation.
No signup required. Sign up free for 3 appraisals/day.
