Frequently Asked Questions
How is InstAppraisal different from other free online antique appraisal sites?
Most "free appraisal" sites are actually lead generators for auction houses or dealers who want to buy your items. InstAppraisal is an independent service backed by 25+ years of real market data. We have no incentive to undervalue your items—we're not trying to acquire them.
What affects an appraisal's accuracy?
Photo quality matters most. Clear, well-lit images from multiple angles give the best results. Including close-ups of marks, signatures, damage, and a size reference helps significantly. Providing any known history or provenance in your description also improves accuracy.
Why do you give a value range instead of a single number?
Honest appraisals acknowledge market variability. The same item might sell for different prices at auction vs. retail, in different regions, or at different times of year. A range reflects real-world conditions better than a false-precision single number.
Can values change over time?
Yes. Antique and collectible markets fluctuate based on trends, economic conditions, and generational tastes. An item that was highly sought-after 10 years ago may have softened, while previously overlooked categories can surge in popularity. Our database tracks these shifts.
Why do insurance values differ from resale values?
Insurance replacement value reflects what you'd pay to replace an item at retail. Resale or fair market value is what you'd realistically receive selling it. Insurance values are typically higher. Our appraisals focus on fair market value, but we note when replacement value would differ significantly.
When should I get a certified professional appraisal?
For insurance claims, estate settlements, tax donations over $5,000, legal disputes, or items potentially worth $10,000+, you'll want a certified appraiser who can provide formal documentation. Our online appraisals are excellent for understanding value and making informed decisions, but aren't substitutes for legal documentation.
