Appraisals, Valuations, and Collection Management

Need someone to take a quick look at your item(s)? Wondering if it's garage sale bound or a million dollar masterpiece? We'll tell you what the current market looks like so you can decide what to do next.  

You don't need to bring it into the office! Valuations are available for 1-3 items. ​If you have more than 3 items, we are happy to quote you a fee to evaluate the collection. 

An appraisal report puts value on an object for a specific purpose and gives justification for that value. Clients request appraisals for a number of different reasons, including:

• Listing items on an insurance policy
• Processing an insurance claim
• Making a donation
• Settling or planning an estate
• Providing documentation for sale

For larger collections we offer walk-through household valuations and consultations. We'll sort through your items so you can decide what goes into a garage sale, what gets donated, what goes to auction, and what goes on Kijiji. 

If you need to downsize part or all of your collection we can run an online auction or sell items on consignment. Tell us what needs to be sold and we'll do the rest.

Need to sell a large number of items? Managing an estate or downsizing before a move? Looking to add a special piece to your collection? Whether you're selling or buying, our online auction platform is the perfect tool to rehome old (and not so old) treasures.  

Have only a couple of items to sell? We offer consignment sales for very small collections too. After some market research, we may offer your items in an auction with a reserve, sell them in our online shop, or put them in our booth at Nostalgic Journey. 

Each collection is unique and every client has different collection needs. Making a donation to a museum or gallery? Want to host an online fundraiser for your non-profit? Tell us your story and we'll create a plan to get your collection where it needs to be.
