jaiden   10 #4 Posted January 3, 2008 I'd rather have it professionally valued.  it wont matter what any so called expert tells you what its worth. the real value of anything is what someone will pay for it and ebay is a very good guideline.

ricky36   11 #6 Posted January 3, 2008 it wont matter what any so called expert tells you what its worth. the real value of anything is what someone will pay for it and ebay is a very good guideline.  professional value I suggest you look on the tv and see how many times the proffessionals get it wrong. no matter what value the proffessionals give,at the end of the day you are stuck with what someone is willing to pay on the day. A proffessional value is almost all the time based on insurance purposes only,completely unrealistic when you come to sell the item. I once had a crown derby bowl complete with a so called valuation certificate of £450 and put it on a car boot AT £100 BEST OFFER ALL DAY WAS A FIVER so somebody was wrong or the item would have been snatched up at £100 if it was really worth that much dont you think Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
neeeeeeeeeek   10 #7 Posted January 3, 2008 I'd rather have it professionally valued.  It's still only worth what someone will pay for it, my guess is the so called proffesional will go out the back on look at ebay! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

ricky36 Â Â 11 #12 Posted January 4, 2008 Thanks all will check out your suggestions. Â You do realise the auction houses will only give a estimate of the expected selling price in the actual auction which will be a lot lower than the possible retail value at the point of sale. the actual valuation that you require may cost you money they dont do valutions for free you know. in some cases the cost of the valuation exceeds the actual value of the item, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
