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 valuable for insurance purposes. At Mearto, our focus is on providing online appraisals to help customers sell their items at auction through consignment consignment , or through our online marketplace.

Our solution is fast, convenient and affordable. We also offer an unbiased valuation. Knowing the true fair market value of the item that you want to sell can help you negotiate a better price.

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 items comparable to yours.

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. Please be as detailed as possible in your description of the item. The entire submission process takes about 5 minutes.
