Some appraisers don't want you to know the true value of an object since they are interested in buying the object from you at a much lower price than its actual value. Good business for them, but not for the general public who has no idea what their items are worth.
| Be sure and choose a reputable appraiser. |
If you are interested in selling your items, we suggest that you receive an independent appraisal from an unrelated third party. This DOES NOT mean that you should use an appraiser who was referred to you by a prospective buyer. Once you have an independent appraisal, you then have the necessary information you need to protect yourself and properly negotiate when you are selling the item.

Although Charles Pharr Jr., Accredited member of the International Society of Appraisers, owns a large fine antiques store and art galley he does not consider it ethical to appraise and buy. Be wary of anyone that wants to set the price for buying your item.
