Sometimes the organizer needs to organize herself! I found a box of old photos and school work my Mother had saved for me. I ordered a set of two photo storage boxes from Amazon. With small boxes inside each box I was able to put my old photos in groups by year and friends and boyfriend lol! Such a great way to sort photos without their bulky covers and negatives and such a space saver.

Do you collect things? Is your collection stored safely to ensure it won't be damaged by light or heat or moisture? Do you want to know the estimated value or the appraised value for insuring or selling?

One of the key things to help you save time and money is to catalogue your collection and keep it stored in a safe and organized way. A catalogued listing should include the collection specific, controlled vocabulary. This also helps to ensure proper identification of your items. A safe place may mean acid free boxes or keeping your items away from light and heat.

My services also include assistance with organizing, identifying and cataloging collectible items. I offer a free in person local consultation or can consult via Zoom or Google Meets.

Today's thought...I often see or hear about people saying they need an appraisal of a collectible type decorative item. Most people think an appraisal is giving an item an estimated current market value. I also had a conversation with an antique dealer who seemed angry with people showing up at his store and wanting him to buy their items, at their appraised values. He made a statement that appraisers never get the pricing right.

What people don't understand is what an appraisal is. An appraisal always starts with the appraisal objective or in other words, what is the appraisal being used for? The value for insurance replacement would be different than the value for selling in a current day market and again different if the item was being donated etc.

An appraisal is a formal professional process and written document done with significant research and follows specific guidelines. There are specific rules to be followed in order to define the most exact value of an item. A formal appraisal cannot be performed without creating a work file documenting the customer's name and contact information and the details of the appraisal process and the result. Even a verbal appraisal must have a work file associated to it.

If an appraiser states a value, they must clearly define if they are wearing an estimating hat or their appraiser hat.

If you pay for a professional appraisal service, make sure you understand what objective the appraiser is working towards. If an appraiser does not ask you what the appraisal is going to be used for, they are not a professional appraiser.

Just a little note about appraisals...
I just saw a marketplace post for selling some "appraised" diamond rings. I believe many jewellers offer appraisals when you purchase.

A professional appraisal always starts with the appraisal objective. In other words, is the appraisal for insurance, selling on the open market or for estate clearing or a donation? An insurance appraisal is always the value it would cost to get you back to 100% after a loss. That might include shipping costs etc. and should be compared to an equal market/location. The value for selling an open market may be totally different and would be based on recent sold values in a suitable market.

Therefore, just be careful with non-professional appraisals and make sure you understand the appraisal objective and valuation. Check the appraiser's credentials to make sure they are professional.
