Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are these "real" appraisals?

A: No, this is a "best guess" appraisal from members of our community. We realize that many of the items that people would like to know the value of have no other choice than to pay someone to appraise it for them. These appraisals can be costly, and the majority of the time, not worth the time or hassle. JasonsJunk.com is a great first step in determining whether or not your antique or collectible is worth having appraised. If after posting your antique or collectible, it appears that your item is rather valuable, it would be in your best interest to have it professionally appraised.
