APPRAISALS FOR INSURANCE COMPANIES (FIRE / WATER / SMOKE DAMAGE)
Firearms collections can constitute a valuable loss in case of fire hazards. Our company can assist you with minimizing your loss by providing you with a written appraisal on a letterhead document. Our written appraisals packages include the following, but we can customize your package as requested by your insurance company:
- close inspection of each firearm;
- establishing the market value of the firearm prior to the fire hazard and after;
- when the firearm is a collectible item that had been conserved in original finish: loss of collectible value
- list of services needed for bringing the firearms back to the original value, with quotes at our shop rates
PRICING:
- ATF recording (acquisition and disposition): $1 / firearm
- Written appraisal on letterhead: hourly rate, $65 / hour (usually 12-15 guns / hour)
$40 / firearm - WRITTEN APPRAISAL FOR MANUFACTURING COMPANY
Although most manufacturers provide a high-standard quality control, sometimes firearms present function faults from manufacturing. If your firearm is still covered by warranty, it is cheaper for our customers to ship the firearm back to the original manufacturer rather than covering the repair cost. In that case, we will provide you with a written appraisal to ship with your firearm to the manufacturers.
Our written appraisals usually include:
- close inspection of the firearm;
- function testing;
- proof of malfunction from production.
