​Anytime Evaluation

​

Are you wondering how to get an appraisal if you cannot bring your belongings to Garth's?

 

If you cannot join us in our gallery for the monthly appraisal days, please contact our appraisers anytime by phone, mail, or email

 

 

 

After your preliminary inquiry and depending on the nature of the object or the scope of a collection, our appraisers are available to travel to your home. By first sending us images and additional information (such as measurements, marks, signature, condition, & and any history of ownership) on your object(s), you will give us the best opportunity to pair you with the perfect professional to meet your needs.

 

Once you contact us, one of our representatives will respond to you promptly. Our complimentary evaluations are always confidential and there is never any obligation.​

Host an Appraisal Event

​

Are you a member of a group or organization that would benefit from a well-run fundraiser?

 

Many of Garth's appraisal days are held as fundraising events for museums, historical societies, and other nonprofit organizations. In an effort to attract more visitors and attention to your venue, these events are most frequently open to the public, and a nominal per-item fee or donation is charged for each appraisal for the benefit of the hosting organization. In return, participants receive a complimentary, verbal evaluation of an object's value. Since our appraisers are frequently out in the community, let us join your team for the day.
