There are many reasons why you might want to know how much your art, antique or collectible item is worth... from simply satisfying your curiosity to having information for insurance purposes. At Mearto, our focus is on providing online appraisals to help customers sell their items at auction through Catawiki.
Our online appraisal includes a brief description of your item and two values. The fair market value is expressed as a range (a minimum and maximum estimate) and is what you could reasonably expect to sell your item for at auction. We get this range by analyzing recent auction results for comparable items.As a courtesy, we also provide either a suggested asking price or an automatically calculated insurance value.
All you have to do is submit some images and information about your item with our easy-to-use online form.Once you’ve submitted an item to us, a specialist reviews it and typically responds within 48 hours. You will receive an email notification when your online appraisal is complete. If you have questions, you can communicate directly with the specialist who provided your online appraisal through our platform.
Sure! Once your online appraisal is complete, it can be downloaded as a PDF, so you can save, print and share it however you'd like.
We charge $25 per item for a standard online appraisal, which you typically receive within 48 hours of purchase. We also offer attractive bulk rates for customers with three items or more.
