Appraisals of Limoges boxes, other porcelains and antiques

I do NO appraisals at all, but there are many sites offering online appraisals. What's It Worth To You is the best known and probably largest, offers a wide variety of services very reasonably priced, and is endorsed by eBay. I have not used them, but I certainly would. Here are some of the services they offer:

Classic appraisal: Fill in a description and upload images. Before long, you'll get an email that you can log in and read the appraisal. Cost $9.95

Delux appraisal: Receive historical information about your item, its manufacture, and other pertinent details which the appraiser has researched, the sources used in obtaining the valuation, how to care for and store your item, and both the fair market value and the replacement value. Cost $19.95.

Ebay opinion: Get an expert opinion of an item for sale on eBay. The appraiser will view the item on eBay, and give you their opinion of the authenticity, fair market value, and replacement value of the item. Cost $9.95.

Collection appraisal: Minimum 15 like pieces (i.e. all coins, all china teacups, all political buttons etc.). Get a value on the entire collection as a whole and some information regarding which items in the collection are the highlights. Cost $2.95 per item, minimum $44.25 for 15 items.

Ask an expert forum: Ask a question about an item, including uploaded pictures, but no prices given. One question $2.25, less if you buy credits for multiple questions.

Unlock the Database: Access to all past appraisals; you can see many samples before paying. Price from $3.95 for 24 hours to $49.95 for a year.

Antique Tutorials: Online short courses such as - Intro to Porcelain ($9.95), Intro to Oriental rugs ($8.95), Intro to textiles ($5.95), and a few more.

They are developing quite a community and have several other features, including classified ads, help with listing on eBay, and discussion forums (or fora).
