What is the best antique online appraisal and valuation website?

Here at AFTA we must get this question asked at least several times a week. It is not something we are personally knowledgable about, but since most of our members are in the business of house clearance and deal with antiques on a daily basis then maybe they would be best suited to answer this question which we can post the answer to on this page and point anyone else with a similar enquiry to.

So we emailed all AFTA members involved with house clearance the following question…

Question: Dear AFTA member we know that your business is involved with house clearance and will handle antiques on a daily basis, if you are unsure of an item’s value or history which online antique appraisal and valuation service do you use and also which service would you recommend to your customers if they asked for your advice?

Answer: Out of all our members that replied the two most popular choices for online antique appraisals were about-antiques.com and valuemystuff, most members seemed to overall prefer about-antiques.com due to an items history and value being consistently more accurate.
