No written appraisals are given. The appraisals are verbal and free. Absolutely NO recording devices of any kind are allowed into the hall. If you bring a camera, video camera, or tape recorder to the event, you will be asked to remove it from the hall. Our experts see approximately 700 people per hour.
Some categories are busier than others and it really varies from city to city.
The best advice we can give is to come prepared to wait. This way, you can relax and enjoy yourself without feeling rushed. Participants enjoy chatting with other people in line and seeing all the interesting objects brought for appraisal. On your way out of the hall, a table will be set up with appraiser business cards for you to collect for any future contacts you care to make. No appraiser may approach or solicit you on-site.
