Camera Appraisal, Identification and Valuation Services
I can provide you with the current value of your camera (or lens), as well as provide historical information on your photographic item. I am very familiar with most cameras, lenses and related photographica from the 1839-1969 time period and/or can research quite easily. I am a knowledgeable camera collector who has been collecting and researching photographica for the last 20 years as a passionate hobby. I am also the founder of the largest camera collecting email group in the world, "The Internet Directory of Camera Collectors." You can read about the "IDCC" by clicking here...
For many years, I was also a member of the Photographic Historical Society of New England. Lastly, I have been an active ebay user since 1996 and have over 1,640 positive comments with zero negative feedback! Click here to see My Ebay feedback page.
Another frequent request is help with writing an eBay ad for your item... can easily do that to for a very reasonable fee, please inquire.
I am offering two levels of service, delivered via email:
Level One
For just $ 5.00, I will provide you with the current market value of your camera (or lens/photographica) and with basic data such as the year built, model and manufacturer. This value is based on current auctions on eBay, published price guides and my experience in buying, selling, trading and collecting cameras for the past 20 years.
Level Two
For $ 12.00, I will provide you with the current market value of your camera (or lens) and historical information and/or research on your particular item. Click here for a $ 12 sample of my services
** In the event your item is worth less than $ 40.00 US, I will let you know that FREE of charge.**
I will also give a deep discount on multiple evaluations or collections - just ask.
I can also help you write an eBay ad for your item - $ 12.00
I can also sell items on commission via eBay for a 20% commission ( $ 100 min. fee ).
OK, HOW DOES THIS WORK ?
Email me and describe the item(s) you want appraised. I will email you back and let you know if I am able to help. Include photos if you have them and any serial numbers you find. Click HERE TO EMAIL ME
If I can help, I will email you back and send you a link so you can pay for the $ 5 or $ 12 service via paypal.com. Payment is easily made with a credit card for your protection and paypal buyer safeguards. Using a credit card protects you. Thank you.
*May not be used for insurance valuation purposes. For that you need a written appraisal by someone certified and/or licensed in your state to offer such information.
If you want to pay first, please do so below. I am able to provide refunds if needed. Please note that I try to respond timely, but life sometimes intrudes.... Most appraisals are done within 24-48 hours, but sometimes delays happen. Thanks !
