Help:Appraisals

Appraisals are, technically, legal documents paid for by the owner of a collectable. The document can be used for insurance purposes or guide for selling the item. With that in mind, here are some things to remember:

Value
An item's value is realized when a buyer and seller agree to a price. The answer to "What's it worth" is "it depends." Market forces, supply/demand, and provenance all play a role.

Date
If you a reading an appraisal, take note of the date. Appraisals can change dramatically over time depending on market forces.
