iGuide Appraisals — How It Works

August 21, 2025 - How valuable are your valuables? It takes 60 seconds or less to submit your appraisal request for current market value pricing from one of our appraisers. It's like having Antiques Roadshow at your fingertips 24/7.

How does it work?

It's simple, just show and tell.

What will I get?

You'll receive a professional appraisal report you can share, print, download and save in your My Appraisals dashboard.

Do real experts appraise my item?

Yes! Each appraisal can be custom-curated by a real human expert in an hour or less (turnaround times vary but we strive to get it to you fast). This is a premium upgrade available as an option.

Does this cost anything?

No. Basic service is free. No credit card required. No signup required. Like the service? Upgrade to a premium plan for greater usage limits and advanced features.

Is this a subscription?

No. You aren't signing up for anything. Create a free account if you wish, but it's optional. Our goal is to make it simple to discover the value of your valuables.

How to get the most from your appraisal

Write a great description and upload great photos. Simple as that.

Your prompt Your prompt is a brief description you type in including details such as:
year made (if known)
model number (if known)
who made it
country where it was made
markings or texts Any text or markings should be described.

Upload Great Photos For Best Results

High quality photos are important to a quality appraisal. Include up to 12 photos, at least one photo of each side of your item and closeups of markings or tiny text. Your phone camera works fine.

Well lit, clearly-focused photos improve your appraisal result. The old saying "garbage in, garbage out" applies here.

Looking to sell?

Do you plan to sell? Just ask. We'll include a report on your best selling options.
