the one thing to remember about "appraisals"....... they are generally provided to establish a value on an item listed on an insurance policy........ the appraised value of most items is generally quite a bit higher than what that piece will sell for, cash in hand....A dealer will quite often offer even less than that "cash price" because he needs room to make money/trade on an item........ Watch Pawn Stars (on TV's History Channel I think), they have to explain this to most people who bring stuff into their shop to sell/pawn.
ADDED: When our guys are offering a value, it really is what you should pay for an item.....tops. There used to be a difference in the value of an item, depending on where it was being sold.. with the big internet gun auction boards/sites, this difference has lessened.
For example, it would be harder to sell a VW convertible in Alaska.............while in a college town in Texas or Florida, there might be many young ladies that would be interested in it.
