Consultations consist of advice, an explanation of the items and the appraisal process, as well as a thorough inspection and cleaning.
The cost of a written appraisal should always reflect the length of time it takes for a proper appraisal and not the value of the item. Clients with 1 to 2 items may only need to leave their items for a few days. Clients with a large selection of 20-30 pieces may need to leave their items for 7 to 10 days.
