items-of-value-inc is a website-backed, unclaimed FAIR profile in Richmond, VA. FAIR lists Antiques and Personal Property and Estate Appraisals, with Antiques, Estate, and estate/probate routing signals; FAIR does not show a public fee statement, public USPAP education field, separate credential field, reviews, or claim/control status. The source site presents Items of Value, Inc. as a full-service appraisal and estate-sale firm, but its title and description emphasize Washington, DC, Alexandria, VA, and a 703 phone number, so Richmond service coverage should be confirmed directly. Its Services page says Dr. Ford furnishes replacement value, fair market value, liquidation value, selling/buying price ranges, and residual value tied to damage or restoration costs. The Appraisals page lists insurance, estate planning or settlement, donations and gifts, liquidation, selling/buying, damage, and authentication or valuation uses, and says charges are calculated in quarter-hour increments before completed work is released. Estate-sale pages say Items of Value has conducted sales since 1978, averages more than 30 sales a year, advertises through EstateSales.net, and can pick up items for sale elsewhere. Restoration and sale pages point to antique furniture, paintings, ceramics, metals, jewelry, clocks, toys, sewing machines, scrolls, and household contents. Treat this as a potentially relevant antiques, estate, personal-property, restoration, and sale-support lead, while confirming current Richmond coverage, report signer, value basis, inspection method, and fee terms.
Source-owned evidence supports appraisal work, estate sales, restoration, and sale inventory across antiques, personal property, paintings, antique furniture, ceramics, metals, jewelry, clocks, toys, sewing machines, Asian scrolls, and household contents. The source site frames its market around Washington, DC and Alexandria, so Richmond-specific service coverage needs direct confirmation.
Before outreach, separate the assignment: formal appraisal report, estate-sale/liquidation help, restoration advice, or item purchase/sale. Ask who would inspect and sign any report, whether the intended use is insurance, estate, donation, liquidation, damage, sale, purchase, or loan collateral, what value basis applies, how fees are calculated, and whether the firm currently serves Richmond in person or by travel.
