3. Appraising furs requires an expert eye for
details. Among the factors appraisers consider
are length, size, style, age, type of pelt, and
overall condition. Other elements to consider
are market depreciation and appreciation. Just
as with cars, watches, and many other
consumer items, prices of new furs tend to drop
over time. However, certain styles, even those
considered vintage, keep or increase in value
due to collectors.
4. Two distinct forms of fur appraisal are
cash value and replacement value. Cash
value is the amount of money the item is
worth. Replacement value is for insurance
purposes and is a far higher valuation,
giving the amount required to replace the
piece with a similar new one.
