1. Purchase your appraisal package.
2. Once you’ve made your purchase, simply open your email, attach and send .jpg pictures and information of the item to be appraised to auctionwallystore@gmail.com
3. I’ll post the appraisal online and email you a notice that your appraisal was completed. (You may request a private appraisal which will not be posted online, just let me know when you email me the details of your item.) In most cases this takes around 3 days, unless there are unusual circumstances.

To see if it was done before you receive an email from me, you can go to my What’s it Worth page at http://www.auctionwally.com, and enter your item in the search box there.

After your payment is made, your appraisal will automatically be posted when it’s completed, unless you request it to remain private in which case it will be emailed to you.

I’ve held hundreds of live auctions, where I’ve sold many thousands of items. I’m also on eBay and other online market places where I’ve been selling antiques, collectibles and many other items for 10 years. My eBay ID is Auctionwally.

My antiques appraisals are the best on the internet, period.

Here’s why:

• I offer a 100% money back guarantee, no questions asked.
• Your appraisal will include several prices - retail price, wholesale price, quick sale price.
• Your appraisal will come worded in standard industry terminology, nicknames and slang when appropriate. In short, you’ll know what the professionals call it and what keywords to use if you plan to sell it.
• Your appraisal will come with tips on how to care for your item.
• Your appraisal will be conducted by me personally, a professional auctioneer with 25+ years of selling experience. There’s a good chance I’ve sold something just like your item, probably more than a few times! I don’t just write about antiques, I sell them.
• Because your appraisal will be posted online you can, show it to anyone, and you’ll have to worry about losing it, but again, it can remain private if you wish. Of course, regardless of how you prefer to receive your appraisal, I will never post your personal information other than first name)

If you can honestly find a better deal, please email me with the URL of my competition, I may want to start farming out some of my work to them!
