Appraisal Value

Women’s Day magazine had some great ideas about what to do if you are afraid to throw something away because it could be valuable. Here they are:

Check online - A woman who was worried about selling her mint-condition, in-the-box action figure went online to check prices for it. After seeing it didn’t even get bids, she had no qualms about selling it in a garage sale.

Hire an appraiser – Take your item to a local appraiser. You’ll typically pay at least $75.00 or more; find one at appraisers.org.

Outsource the Job – When you can’t find the time to list it on eBay or cragslist.org, sell your stuff to a middleman like an antiques buyer, a consignment store or an eBay drop-off franchise such as iSold It (i-soldit.com) or Auction It Today (auctionittoday.com) For a 30% to 40% commission you’ll save yourself the hassle.

Donate to Charity - Donate and save money on taxes. To find out what amount is appropriate to deduct, access up-to-date lists of fair market values at TurboTax’s itsdeductible.com and use the free online software to track your donations all year.
