About Values
Everybody wants to know about values. It’s a main topic of conversation among collectors, and more email is sent to this website about values than any other topic. Some people are looking to sell, others want to get values for insurance purposes, and others are just curious. First, our policy….
Sorry but we cannot answer emails requesting appraisals, values, starting bids (or reserves) for internet auctions or any other financial advice.
Liability. This website is non-commercial and all-volunteer. There is too much risk in providing a free appraisal to someone who could then turn around and sue us for overlooking some important point. In rare cases, railroadiana values have reached five figures, and four figures are not all that uncommon. So the stakes are getting high. There have been legal actions in other antique collecting fields around appraisals.
