Atlanta-based WorthPoint Forms Partnership with e-ValueIt

WorthPoint Corporation today announced the company’s partnership with e-ValueIt.com, the online provider of appraisals with many services that complement WorthPoint in regards to art, antiques, collectibles, and memorabilia.

While WorthPoint subscribers use the site and its apps to access archived sales results and maker’s mark identification tools, e-ValueIt’s team of experts delivers an appraised value for almost any object, often informed by WorthPoint data.

Corey Cripe Kuchel, e-ValueIt founder, describes the company as an online valuation and appraisal service that provides an accurate and affordable range of valuations from known experts. The company also takes pride in its approachable, easy-to-use format. WorthPoint CEO Will Seippel is a longtime fan of e-ValueIt.

“Whether you’re stumped for an appraisal value or just want someone else to do the homework for you, the e-ValueIt team provides an affordable and convenient way to get the job done,” said Seippel. “I appreciate their approach—no matter if the item is of sentimental value or museum-grade, the e-ValueIt team can help. They are affordable, timely, and very approachable.”

The addition of e-ValueIt further builds on WorthPoint’s list of partners including the Institute for the Study of Antiques & Collectibles, Global Authentics, and Sporting Classics Magazine.

Owned and operated by longtime appraisers and experts who worked at auction houses of all sizes, the team at e-ValueIt offers a wide range of expertise. Like WorthPoint, they know most people don’t own million-dollar paintings for appraisal, but they believe everyone should enjoy a level of service and information to which the jet set may be accustomed.

“We help our customers work around the unnecessary, and at times uncomfortable, exclusivity sometimes observed in the art and antiques market,” said Cripe Kuchel. “Our team collectively has the knowledge to identify and value almost any object from art and antiques to glass, silver, jewelry, and coins, as well as an array of other collectible categories.”

Using the e-ValueIt’s “Start Appraisal” link, users provide two or more images, measurements, descriptions, and other details. e-ValueIt sends an appraised value, taking into account a detailed assessment of the condition and archived price comparisons. They also send a desirability determination.

WorthPoint Corporation provides the largest online resource for researching, valuing, and buying or selling antiques, art, collectibles, memorabilia, or any object.
