Charges for Appraisals, Evaluations, and Research Services

I have been receiving an increasing volume of requests asking for information, comments, research, evaluations, and appraisals regarding Japanese netsuke, art and antiques.

If you were to bring me a large collection of netsuke and ask for a verbal evaluation, my charges generally start at $100. If only a few minutes are required to evaluate a small number of items there might be a minimum charge of $25.

If there is a chance that we will end up doing some business together, then I would not charge for most of these services, or those charges would be included in with the other business costs.

Most Sincerely,
Norman L. Sandfield
