For Collectors
Appraisals
Appraisal Method
You will notice that on each work of art there will be a complete description of the work, its registration number and our price for the work. The appraisal solely represents our opinion of the replacement value of the work. In making this determination we rely on many factors including the condition of the art work, gallery prices of reputable art galleries and other reliable price data and lists. We do not rely on third party auction prices or internet prices to arrive at the appraisal.
Appraisal Fee
Park West® Appraisals are available and recommended for insurance purposes. The cost for appraisals is $35 U.S. ($50 Canadian) for the first work appraised and $15 U.S. ($20 Canadian) for each additional work appraised at the same time.
We do not issue refunds if another appraiser or source has a different opinion than ours. Park West® assumes no liability or responsibility for errors or omissions in connection with its appraisals. We do not assume and we disclaim any liability for: (i) insurance denials or losses, or (ii) claims for refunds or money damages based on a claim that our appraised value is too high, too low or otherwise inaccurate.
The most effective method of assuring an efficient and accurate appraisal is to submit a copy of your invoice(s). If that is not possible, the description and registration numbers for the works will help to assure accurate and prompt service.
Appraisals will be mailed not more than eight weeks from the date they were requested. If the appraisals do not arrive at the address provided within eight weeks, our only obligation is to mail the appraisals within eight weeks of receipt of written notice by registered or certified mail, from the purchaser, that the appraisals have not been received.
