Information provided regarding my items was very helpful. In particular, I had some spoons given to me by an old aunt and I had no idea of their provenance. I was told they originated from the far east, which made a lot of sense knowing my aunt was a nurse in that region during WW2.
I suppose everyone expects a high valuation of their item, but mine was derisory. A 9ct gold wristwatch, Omega make, in excellent condition was valued at £180.
Given the current price of gold at approx £67 per gram, the scrap value is worth more than £180.
Not realistic!
You found a couple more comparisons than I found. I'm not sure it's worth $28.00 but will see if we sell it and the appraisal was the selling point
I found this service to be very helpful in identifying my midcentury sofa. I also received my valuation very promptly. The valuation I received however, was slightly undervalued. The valuation was $120.00 and I sold the sofa for $500.0 after receiving multiple offers.
I ache not received my appraisal yet but filling out the information was easy ad the price was reasonable.
Based on my research of long case grandfather clocks by Bailey, Banks and Biddle I am not sure if I agree with your assessment. I do appreciate the info you have provided. Because this clock is a one of a kind I think your evaluation is an opinion vs a comparison. Thank you for your time and expertise.
I needed a valuation on a vintage guitar and could not find anybody locally with the requisite knowledge.
I was wary of using an online company but
ValueMyStuff has exceeded all expectations.
After sending a dozen photos and a short description of the guitar (the website is very easy to use) I received a report of the history of the guitar (with a pdf download) and a lower and upper estimate of the auction value within the 48 hours stated.
All at a very affordable charge.
They are currently looking into possible ways for me to sell the guitar in my area -
A welcome bonus I didn't expect.
ValueMyStuff is 5 star ++
I have been using this service for many years. It was hit and miss so in addition to ValueMyStuff I would consult with other sources. I believe they are getting better with my last couple of appraisals.
I have used Value my stuff for years. On very complex items I have found they did not have the professionals to properly evaluate my item, or they undervalued it.
It was good, sharp people know what they do, your evaluators are sharp
Good customer service, quick response. Would highly recommend
Meh, significantly over the 48 hour mark,
Learned more asking reddit and thst doesnt cost money. I do believe the price to be around the right mark.
I have had my moms ring for many years. Finally decided it needed a value. Found this company on line, paid the fee and received a comprehensive evaluation within 48 hrs. Very happy with the experience!
Thank you for your kind feedback Leslie, we are delighted to have been of such satisfactory service.

Only issue was the measurements. Unable to enter exact information had to add to description.
Made their easy $28 off me just to say my Rembrandt was a replica lol … Just by looking at its on metal not true and its signed by the artist which can't be replicated. Never go through this company again plus just throws info out that they have original piece in England. Well like his art didn't get to America lol
I am unsure what I expected...I suppose something akin to antiques road show where they give dates and composition such as wood type. Perhaps that was too difficult to ascertain with the photos supplied.
Ruth has been a pleasure to work with. Timely execution of appraisal and phenomenal communication thereafter on follow up questions. Will use again; A++ grade from the other side of the pond! Thank you.
Thank you Michael. It has been a pleasure working with you too.

I run an antiques shop and wanted to see how accurate these guys service was - it's pretty spot on. I tested three different items and all were great! Service is fast, friendly, reasonably priced and expert in opinion. Seems the negative valuations here are because the customers don't like the truth they're being told... Would highly recommend. Thank you!
Website easy to navigate. Quick turn around w descriptive yet succinct review which matches other online estimates and descriptions I had researched. Very happy w process and results. Would definitely use these services again.
Thank you for your positive feedback Elizabeth. We take great pride in our product and very much look forward to being of service to you again.

Appraisal came back quickly and a pretty good description of what was. I note about the item and fair market value and why it was that value. I'd definitely use them again. Oh, and all this at a great price!
This place is a complete jo my ke. I've had several things appraised by them and each time they come back with the lowest most insulting appraisals. One of the items I have appraised and they stated it was valued at $50 sold at auction for $4600. Imagine how many people listen to their valuation and sell their items for next to nothing because this company tells them it's not worth anything. They also had the nerve to double their price this year. Christie's, sotherby, and heritage all do free valuations with trained buyers not just a bunch of jerks behind a computer.
Hi there, we're so sorry to hear you were disappointed with your reports.
We have been operating for over 10 years and served many happy customers. We take feedback really seriously, so many thanks for your comment, but it would be great if you could contact us via email (info@valuemystuff.com) so that we can address your concerns directly.
Many of our specialists have worked at Sotheby’s, Christie’s and Bonhams and the company was founded by Sotheby’s Director, Patrick van der Vorst, so we do have an excellent level of expertise and knowledge of the market.
You are absolutely correct that larger auction houses provide free valuations, however, they will usually only do this for items above their sale threshold. Furthermore, there is no guaranteed return time (we provide reports in 24 or 48 hours), nor do they provide a full report with insurance values, cataloguing and extra notes.
Valuations are, by their nature, a matter of opinion and we can only form a judgment on the images and information submitted to us. Occasionally, a difference in opinion does occur but we warmly welcome follow-up questions.
We certainly hope that you do get in contact and look forward to hearing from you.
All the best,
VMS
Having an old bronze sculpture sitting on a cupboard top collecting dust for the last 58 years or so, somehow once acquired by my grandfather who died in 1965, I recently identified through web browsing the sculptor who created it. Being unable to control my curiosity, I needed to find out what the value of the sculpture might be. I took some photos and sent to "ValueMyStuff" requesting a value of this relic. "ValueMyStuff" were very quick in satisfying my curiosity, and provided their appraisal report within two days of my request. Thank you VMS.
Thank you for your feedback, we are delighted to have been able to be instrumental in discovering more about your sculpture.

Fast and efficient, I was hoping for a guesstimate on the age, At least a ballpark. Oh well, I guess I can make it up.
