Informal Appraisal - One Item

Professional Steiff Appraisal Service

We have the expertise to provide you with a professional, accurate appraisal. We appraise both individual items and complete Steiff collections. Whether you are looking for a quick, simple appraisal or a formal one for insurance purposes, let us help you!

An informal appraisal will give you basic information about your item and an estimate range of fair market value and replacement price. We will base this estimate primarily on our experience as a dealer/collector but we will also conduct some research and include references if easily available. This type of appraisal is provided via email only. First item is $19.95; if you wish to have a second item appraised, the cost is $8.95.

In order to prepare your appraisal, we will need several clear photographs of your item(s) and a brief description of the condition of your item(s). Please attach this information to an email addressed to us at this address: appraisals@steiffbear.com
We can usually prepare an informal appraisal for one item within 2-3 working days after receiving your information. Requests for additional items may require more time.

We confirm your order and begin your appraisal as soon as we receive your payment and information about the Steiff you wish appraised.

We will never offer to buy an item for which we provide an appraisal. We charge a flat fee upfront only - regardless of the value of the item appraised.

Steiffbear.com is not responsible for profits or losses involving the sale or disposal of the item appraised.
