My name is Walt Kolenda, I'm a licensed MA auctioneer & professional appraiser with 25 years in the antiques & collectibles business. My Massachusetts license #2621. I've held hundreds of live auctions, and have sold thousands of items on eBay where I've been selling antiques, collectibles and many other items for 10 years. My eBay ID is Auctionwally and I look forward to selling here on Bonanzle. My antiques appraisals are the best on the internet, period. Here's why: * I offer a 100% money back guarantee, no questions asked. If for any reason you're unhappy with your appraisal, simply request a refund within 7 days of the posting of your appraisal and I'll cheerfully refund your money. * Your appraisal will include several prices - a retail price, a medium range price, and a quick sale price. I'll explain the difference among these prices, so you'll know just what your item is worth in which markets. * Your appraisal will come with commonly referred to wording as well as standard industry terminology/slang & keyword terms, in short, you'll know what your item is, and what the professionals call it. * It will come with tips on how to care for your antique. * Your appraisal will be conducted by me personally, a professional auctioneer with many years of selling experience. There's a good chance I've actually sold something exactly like, or very close to the item your requesting an appraisal on, probably more than a few times! * If you choose, your appraisal will be posted here online, so you can reference it to anyone who needs to see it, and you always know right where to find it, useful when trying to sell your item. However, if you do not wish your appraisal to be posted here online, let me know when you pay for it and it will remain private.

FAQs *Do you offer volume discounts? * Yes, I have offer discounts for groups of 3 & 5 appraisals at a time. *Can I see any examples of your work? A: Sure, there are hundreds of examples at www.auctionwally.com BTW, you can view all the archived appraisals there for free! *Why is this service so inexpensive? A:Because of my years in the antiques/auction business, I usually reference my appraisals from direct experience, so I'm able to quickly search current markets for comparisons as I know most of the likely keywords for items I'm evaluating. This obviously saves me a lot of time. In short, it does involve a lot of work and effort, but that was already done over my 25+ years in the business. In the event that I need to do extensive research, I consider that part of my ongoing education and will absorb the extra cost. * Do you offer written appraisals, something I can use for insurance purposes etc?
