Hello Catherine,

Thank you so much for reaching out, and I’m truly sorry you’re experiencing this. We recently had some unexpected site outages, and unfortunately a small amount of appraisal data was lost during recovery. I completely understand how frustrating this must be, especially with items you’ve already had appraised and listed for sale.

We are currently working to restore the missing data. In the meantime, you’re very welcome to post your items again and we’ll make sure they get appraised right away. Please rest assured that no appraisals will be lost moving forward, as we’ve strengthened our backup and reliability processes to prevent this from happening again.

We truly appreciate your patience and continued participation in our community.

Warm regards,
The InstAppraisal Team
