An appraisal is when I examine a mah jong set, assess it's condition, completeness and share my opinion on it's current value and/or what you may expect to pay for it.

However, there are two levels of appraisals...  

#1   A visual with email response - I examine photos then  I express my opinion of the set value based on it's manufacturer, the condition, the completeness and the source.  My fee for this kind of appraisal is $20.00. Now think about this --- email CHarli and ask her to check out an auction for you, ask her what she thinks, guess what! Consultation -- Fee = $20.00. Sorry kids, but remember that I have a life and can't spend time doing this any more unless it's for hire. These little trips take me away from things like finding orphans for you and creating stickers --- not to mention the housework.

#2  A written -  After assessing all the aspects of the set I provide a document (suitable for framing) signed, and with my seal, stating the manufacturer and my fair assessment of the current value.  This kind of appraisal is most valuable for insurance and for sellers who want to have some sort of certification.   My fee for this service is $35.00

Please contact me by email if you are interested in this service.                Thanks   CHarli
