Questions

Before you start

Anything else? Ask us — a person answers.

How does Estimonia estimate value?

From your photos, it identifies the object — maker, period, materials, marks — and prices it against what comparable pieces actually sell for. You get a range rather than a single number, a confidence score, and the reasoning, so you can see why.

Is this a certified appraisal?

No. It is an informed estimate: good enough to tell a $20 item from a $2,000 one and decide what to do next. For insurance, tax or court you need an accredited appraiser — and the estimate tells you whether it is worth paying for one.

What can I value?

Antiques, heirlooms and collectibles: furniture, ceramics, silver, jewelry, watches, clocks, coins, stamps, art, toys, cameras, records and more. If it has a maker, a period or a market, it is worth a try.

What is free, and what costs money?

Valuations are free, with no account and no card, and so is the PDF report of a result. Two things are optional and paid: the $9.99 Sell-it Plan for items estimated at $300 or more, and the estate report for a whole house, from $79. Auction houses can pay to be featured in the directory; that never changes your valuation.

Are my photos private?

Yes. Photos are never published, and nothing is shared with anyone unless you ask for it — for example, asking to be introduced to an auction house.

How accurate is it?

It depends on the object and the photos. Well-documented categories — watches, silver, coins, popular collectibles — come out close to real sale prices; one-off pieces carry a wider range and a lower confidence score, and the result says so. Clear photos of any marks or labels help most.
