Sewing machine Valuation Service - WHAT'S IT WORTH?

Found Grannies machine in the attic and need a valuation for insurance? 

OUR SERVICE

We have requests from visitors to our site to advise on the value of machines, especially for insurance of these precious items.  Responding to this demand, we now offer an appraisal service based on our knowledge of the market gained from years of experience, sales, refurbishment and replacement of machines.

If you would like a professional valuation on a sewing machine please read on.

Valuing a sewing machine requires much thought, time, experience and research, it is not something that is easily undertaken as many factors effect the value of an individual machine.

For instance at an auction there may be several similar models of machine but the price can vary enormously due to the condition, history, usage, previous owners, ability to sew, extras with the machine, etc.

We will need is a full description of the machine and photographs from all sides. Also any history or provenance that you have on the machine. You may do this via  email or post. 

Valuation costs:  £38 U.K, $69 USA. Email us for full details: alexsussex@aol.com

  NOTE

Once your payment, photo's & description (please include if the machine will sew) have been received, we will process your application. You will receive a valuation/ provenance within 28 days (unless otherwise specified).

If a provenance is required any family history that is known of the machine and its previous owners should be included with your payment.

 Please Note: Our valuations may be used for insurance purposes and provide an independent, professional  estimate of the replacement cost of your machine. Machine values fluctuate, this is not a substitute for a hands on valuation and given all the variables we cannot guarantee the machines value on any given day. There are some machines that we cannot give valuations on. If in doubt please email us. alexsussex@aol.com
