“Remington M1911 A1 Collectable Antique Firearm”
PatrickR.
1/30/24
The gave me an appraisal of $550, several local gun dealers had already offered me in excess of $950! Obviously the gun dealers would want to sell it at a profit so I'm sure the real value is well more than double, probably triple what ValueMyStuff appraised it at. Apparently their appraisers are not familiar with older firearms

Had two items appraised by this group. One was way higher than expected, while the other was much lower. However, their explanations were very thorough, realistic and made lots of sense.

Have you considered video responses.

I was left 2 beautiful French chairs. But had no idea of authenticity or value. So I googled how to find value. Value My Stuff popped up. I went to site, seemed easy enough and price to value was very reasonable. I took and uploaded many pics. Within 48 hours I had a detailed appraisal and certificate. It also asked if I wanted to auction them but I didn't check that part out.
Reason I chose this business:
I sure would recommend Value My Stuff, who knows where else to learn the value of your stuff? I sure didn’t. And now I have an appraisal and certificate if I want to sell. I figure the $28 it cost to find my chairs were worth $2000 was worth it.
Reason I chose this product:
Explain about auction Like if I said wanted too auction them, would I have to ship or what?

The response was quick, thorough and professional. The reviewer explained the value of the piece, as well as some of its historical significance. Will definitely use them again!

Yes, I would recommend VMS to others as well as being a repeat user when the need arises. The biggest reason is the ease of access to services.

This place is a complete jo my ke. I've had several things appraised by them and each time they come back with the lowest most insulting appraisals. One of the items I have appraised and they stated it was valued at $50 sold at auction for $4600. Imagine how many people listen to their valuation and sell their items for next to nothing because this company tells them it's not worth anything. They also had the nerve to double their price this year. Christie's, sotherby, and heritage all do free valuations with trained buyers not just a bunch of jerks behind a computer.

Hi there, we're so sorry to hear you were disappointed with your reports.
We have been operating for over 10 years and served many happy customers. We take feedback really seriously, so many thanks for your comment, but it would be great if you could contact us via email (info@valuemystuff.com) so that we can address your concerns directly.
Many of our specialists have worked at Sotheby’s, Christie’s and Bonhams and the company was founded by Sotheby’s Director, Patrick van der Vorst, so we do have an excellent level of expertise and knowledge of the market.
You are absolutely correct that larger auction houses provide free valuations, however, they will usually only do this for items above their sale threshold. Furthermore, there is no guaranteed return time (we provide reports in 24 or 48 hours), nor do they provide a full report with insurance values, cataloguing and extra notes.
Valuations are, by their nature, a matter of opinion and we can only form a judgment on the images and information submitted to us. Occasionally, a difference in opinion does occur but we warmly welcome follow-up questions.
We certainly hope that you do get in contact and look forward to hearing from you.
All the best,
VMS

It would be nice if you could also add a retail value in your categories. As auctions price is usually lower than retail, and insurance is usually higher. When looking for an appraisal, I'm more interested in finding out what my item is worth on the retail market. Auction price is good, if by some chance I get lucky enough to find a really valuable item that would sell for more in an auction.
I just guessing most people looking for an appraisal, are looking for retail value
Response was quick, but I didn't get a full answer to my questions

Vms CustomerS. – ValueMyStuff Rep
Thank you for your review Debbie.
We consider the insurance value, which is included in every report, to be the retail value, as this is the private replacement value of the item, rather than the estimates for public auction.
The insurance value is always higher than the auction estimates, as these can of course be far exceeded during the right sale, on the right day.
We are sorry to hear not all of your questions were answered. Please do always contact us at Info@valuemystuff.com if we may be of any further assistance.

If I went with my item to the Antique Road Show, the Appraiser would tell me a story about the item, sometimes an entire history. I checked on Chat GPT4 and I got what I wanted. From VMS I received a bunch of Paper, something what the watch already told and shows me, with an approximate amount the value of the watch. One Paper of the was something about the watch. The rest were only legal stuff and their policies.
I got what I needed the value and what I wanted and I am fine with that.
Reason I chose this business:
Yes, it’s important to know in what range of value your item belongs to enter the market with.

More details about the Item in the appraisal
Vms CustomerS. – ValueMyStuff Rep
Thank you for your positive feedback.
You are of course correct, we are a valuation service. Our appraisals will include a description of the item, some interesting insight into each piece we appraise, we will also provide auction estimates and an insurance value.
On the Antiques Roadshow I believe the short segment we see on the show is only a small amount of the time the specialist spends with the owner and the item being presented.
We hope to have the pleasure of being of service to you again.

ValueMyStuff provides a unique service, a fast and easy feel for the value of something. Apart from an easy valuation for insurance purposes, typically, the result determines whether or not one wishes to go further, to sell the article. The alternative is to take the article in person to a valuer, auctioneer, perhaps someone who may have a vested interest in buying what you may have and so not give an accurate figure. I have used ValueMyStuff 4 times and I can affirm that I am very happy with the results and I probably would not have ventured forth in the first place if this service had not been available.
