How much are your treasures worth?
Learn about the process of appraising objects and evaluating their worth from professional appraiser Brady Dreasher (ISA CAPP, GPPA, CES, CAGA, WSET1) from the Art of Estates. Learn about different types of evaluations, what to do if you need to file an insurance claim and what an evaluation means for you and your collection.
The first fifteen registrants will have the opportunity to bring in one item to be appraised*; registration is required to have an item appraised. If registration is full, participants are welcome to attend but won't be able to have items appraised.
*All participants must transport and bring in objects at their own risk. Art of Estates and Anythink are not responsible for any loss or damage of objects. Weapons, guns, knives, swords, alcohol, drug paraphernalia or jewelry are prohibited for these events. Appraisals for insurance, divorce, taxes, donation, claims, and disputes require professional formal appraisals, which are signed, certified, and USPAP-compliant and that is not the intended purpose of the estimates provided on personal property brought to the event. Art of Estates does not buy, sell, or take property into possession; therefore, the process is unencumbered by personal gain. Registrants understand that all appraisals are verbal approximations of value and that any opinion offered is only for their personal information and will not be used in connection with any commercial transaction and cannot be used for insurance.
