What Happens During Appraisals
At The Luxury Closet, appraisals are a critical part of the selling process. They ensure that your luxury items are accurately valued based on their condition, brand, and market demand. Whether you’re selling handbags, watches, or jewelry, understanding what happens during the appraisal process can help you navigate the selling experience smoothly.
When you submit an item for sale, our experts evaluate it carefully to determine its true value. Here’s a detailed look at what you can expect during the appraisal process:
Step-by-Step Appraisal Process
- 1. Submission of Item: You start by submitting your item through our online platform. Fill out the necessary details about the item, including its brand, condition, and any included accessories.
- 2. Initial Review: Our team conducts an initial review based on the provided information and images to understand whether the item meets our selling criteria.
- 3. Physical Inspection: Once the item passes the initial review, it is sent to our experts for a physical inspection. This is a thorough evaluation to assess the condition, authenticity, and overall quality of the item.
- 4. Research and Comparison: Our appraisers research market trends and pricing for similar items. They use various resources, including sold listings on luxury resale sites, auctions, and brand-specific sales.
- 5. Final Valuation: After assessing the item's condition and conducting market research, a final valuation is determined. This value reflects what we believe the item can sell for on our platform.
- 6. Offer to Seller: We present you with an offer based on the appraisal. You have the option to accept the offer and proceed with the sale or decline it.
- 7. Item Listing: If you accept the offer, the item is then listed on our platform where it can be viewed by potential buyers.
During this entire appraisal process, transparency is key. Our team strives to ensure that you are informed every step of the way, providing insights into how the final valuation is determined.
