Essentially, there are two types of appraised values: the item's value in the market: its fair market value, often referred to as the price paid by a willing Buyer to a willing seller; and its replacement value, the retail price that would have to be paid to replace the item. Even if you don't plan to sell, Spectrum Wine Auctions offers both fair market and insurance appraisals for private individuals, corporations, museums, banks, estate lawyers, etc. Our appraisals are all private and confidential, and detailed written descriptions, inventories and values of the items appraised will be provided.
