<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 4204143, member: 5833&quot;]Well, at least he has some swords in his background.&nbsp; When you ask for an appraisal, you will be asked what you need it for.&nbsp; If you say &#039;insurance for replacement value&#039;, the appraised value will be higher than if you ask what you could sell for today.&nbsp; This is the first I&#039;ve heard of a verbal appraisal that was kept on file.&nbsp; If it&#039;s written down for the file, why not for you?&nbsp; Was this service represented as being more informal than other types?</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess something I would want to know is if he would be making his assessment mainly on his own current knowledge or would he actually do some research?&nbsp; The latter presumably costs more; the other would probably be a waste of money.&nbsp; An intangible, but did he seem interested in seeing the swords?&nbsp; Or was he ho-hum about them?&nbsp; What was the purpose you told him you wanted the appraisals for?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
