Services & Fees
Our main service is firearms appraisals. We appraise guns, swords, knives, military memorabilia, etc. We also offer additional services such as assisting with marketing or protecting your item(s).
Types of Firearms Appraisals
What you have and where you are located both play into how it’ll proceed. After you reach out to us, we’ll provide a plan on how it’ll work.
Photos
Some appraisals can be done entirely from photos. We’ll give you clear instructions on the variety of pictures we’ll need. If we can appraise based on photos only, you’ll save on travel costs.
We’ll Go to You
If we need to do a hands-on inspection and you are located in Northern California, we can travel to you. Be aware this adds travel costs to the appraisal process.
Bring It to Us
If we need to do a hands-on inspection and you can travel to the Sacramento area, you can save on the cost by bringing the item(s) to us. In some cases clients have shipped an item to us.
