Appraisal Services

If you request free information, the value of the information is worth what you paid for it. Undoubtedly, appraisals are like opinions, with each individual you ask, each will offer a different value. When I first started I invested in a large Disney Collection for a lump sum value of $25,000. I invested in every book related to Disney Collectibles, I interviewed everyone who indicated knowledge of Disney Collectibles, went to Disneannia Collector Shows, reviewed auction results, etc. The only thing I found consistent in my extensive research was that there was no consistency A particular Disney Magic Kingdom Key was valued from $50 to $500. In all honesty, the true answer to most individuals who request to know the value of their possession is: " An item is worth what one individual is willing to sell it for an another individual is willing to pay for it at a particular moment." I fully understand that the preceding does not satisfy most individuals but the truth is not what most individuals want to hear. In our retail store the majority of the individuals enter our store for free entertainment or to gather free information to what their item is valued at. Value of an item is based on basic economics: "Supply and Demand" When there is a limited supply and a tremendous demand the value of the item is at its peak. An example is a frantic parent attempting to buy their child the last Woodie Toy Story figure the day before Christmas. The opposite is true when there is unlimited supply and no demand the value of the item is at its lowest. An example is the sale the day after Christmas on Christmas decorations.

Another major factor of the value of an item is condition. As a child if you ever invested in coins, the text would specify a significant difference between a coin in an brilliant uncirculated condition and a coin that is badly worn. In dealing with antiques the subjective feelings of one individual examining an item can greatly differ with another. Experience is a major factor in appraising condition. It is really challenging for an individual to evaluate an item when they have never seen the item in their life.

At American Heritage we are attempting to honestly assist you by utilizing our extensive staff of individuals who are working with the items in question on a daily basis. We limit our appraisals to items we offer. In the present economy, that is changing rapidly and the introduction of the computer internet, current experience is critical. Appraisal texts, that we have reviewed, often reflect the view of an individual, that by the time it is published the information is outdated. If you desire accurate and a present appraisal, please submit $25 with detail photos so we can accurately assist you. We are looking forward in assisting you.

Purchasing

If you have an item you desire to sell, please quote a value you request and provide detail photos so we can determine the condition of the item. Please note, the value we pay you on an item is only a small percentage of our final retail. Additional costs include shipping the item to our warehouse, restoration, showroom expenses, warrantee to the final consumer, credit card fees, and discounts. The better the value you can offer on the item the more likely we will purchase your item.

If your objective is to obtain maximum dollar value for you item, then I suggest you sell your item directly to the retail public. Unfortunately the preceding is often very time consuming and challenging dealing with bargain hunters. If you value your time or have experienced the preceding, then please allow us an opportunity in purchasing your past treasures.
