| I'm interested to hear what others say.
My take on appraisals is this: If there was, god forbid, a theft, fire, whatever and I had to replace the piece in question right this second, the appraised value is enough to help me do that in the non-specialized (i.e. full retail markup) marketplace. So it's not about getting fleeced as much as getting a good deal.
Then there are those elements which cannot be replaced. Original design work and setting, limited editions, materials which are no longer available, etc..
