Yes! An Express Appraisal is a deluxe appraisal completed in
a 24 hr. time period. A deluxe appraisal is for customers requiring in-depth
information about an item in addition to the fair market value and the replacement
value. When you order a Deluxe Appraisal you will receive more detailed
information about your item which may include historical information, details
regarding its manufacturer, and other pertinent details which the appraiser has
researched. The appraiser will also provide information regarding the sources
they used in obtaining their valuation. You will be given tips and hints on how
to care for your item, how to store it and other useful advice.
To have your item appraised you must upload your item with
pictures and description into your iTaggit account. Once you have uploaded your
item, click on the ‘valuation’ button located in the item view. This will open
your valuation manager and allow you to submit your item for an appraisal.
There are two conditions that WIW2U put on this type of
appraisal. First, you must upload at least one clear image of your item and
second it must be submitted so that the appraisers have ample time to complete
the appraisal during normal business hours.
WIW2U has set up an automated schedule of 'blackout' times (weekends and
holidays). If you attempt to submit an appraisal during the blackout time the
site will simply save your information and let you know that you must return to
the website to pay for your appraisal outside of the blackout times. We will
also send you a reminder email once the weekend or holiday is over. If your
Express Appraisal is not completed within the 24 hr. time period you will be
given three choices:
- Change appraisal to a Deluxe
Appraisal and receive a refund for the difference.
- Change appraisal to a Classic
Appraisal and receive a refund for the difference.
- Cancel appraisal and receive
a full refund.
IMPORTANT
Due to the time-sensitive nature of this appraisal it is imperative to note the
following:
- Ensure that you have quick and
easy access to your email during the 24 hour time period and respond to
appraiser inquiries as promptly as possible.
- If your email uses spam
filtering it is imperative that you add express@wiw2u.com to your list of
approved senders.
- Login to WIW2U’s and
regularly check your page for messages, in the unlikely event that emails
are still not getting through to you.
- Although we only require that
you upload one (1) image of your item for an Express Appraisal, it is best
to take a few pictures from various angles and especially try to show any
markings or signatures.
