Estate Valuation Tips
Don't Throw Anything Away
What looks like junk may be valuable. Old advertising, vintage electronics, costume jewelry, and ephemera can surprise you. Get items appraised before discarding.
Check Hidden Spaces
Valuables are often tucked away. Check behind pictures, in old books, bottom of drawers, closet shelves, and the attic. Many estates yield hidden cash, jewelry, or coins.
Document Everything
Take photos of each room before moving items. Note any provenance information (where items came from, who owned them). This documentation supports value claims and prevents disputes.
Beware of "Picker" Offers
Dealers who offer to "clean out" an estate for free or a flat fee know there's value you don't see. Get appraisals first. Our free service helps you understand what you have before negotiating.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is your appraisal valid for IRS/probate purposes?
Our AI appraisals provide fair market value estimates useful for preliminary planning and decision-making. For IRS estate tax filings over the $12.92M exemption (2023) or charitable donations over $5,000, a qualified appraiser's written appraisal is required. We can help identify which items need formal appraisal.
How many items can I appraise?
Try 1 free appraisal without signing up, or sign up free for 3 per day. For larger estates, our Pro plan offers 30 appraisals/day. Estate sale professionals often process many items to quickly identify valuable pieces.
What if family members disagree about values?
Our objective AI appraisals help resolve disputes by providing fair market values based on actual sales data. Share appraisal links with family members so everyone sees the same information. For highly contested items, a formal written appraisal may help.
Should I sell items individually or in an estate sale?
Items valued at $500+ often do better through specialty auctions, consignment, or online sales (eBay, 1stDibs). Estate sales are efficient for clearing a house but typically yield 20-40% of retail. Use our appraisals to identify what's worth selling separately.
