TERMS OF USE

An online appraisal is an expert's opinion of the item(s) depicted above based solely on images and information supplied by our customer.  An online appraisal is only as good as the information provided regarding description, condition and provenance which greatly effect value.  An online appraisal is limited in that it cannot provide the same detail as an in-person appraisal.  Online appraisals should be used to see if a more expensive appraisal is required.   In all cases we advise clients to always consider a second opinion before selling an object.  All information including descriptions, appraisals and images of objects become the property of AppraisalDay.com upon submission.  In no way will AppraisalDay.com, Paul Royka or any affiliates be held liable for information provided in an online appraisal.  I will provide my opinion of a piece based upon over 20 years of selling antiques at auctions, shows and though online auctions.

Fair Market Value is the amount someone might receive when selling their item to a dealer or at auction. It is also the amount most government tax agencies recognize as the tax deductible amount were the item donated to a charitable organization.

Replacement Cost is the retail amount one might reasonably pay to purchase the item from a dealer, gallery, store, etc. It is also the amount for which one may want to insure an item.
