Do you appraise sealed product?
In short: Yes. Sealed boxes, cases and packs can be appraised like any other item. Because resealing is a real risk, I can pair the appraisal with a reseal verification so the value rests on a checked item.
A value for a sealed box assumes it is factory-sealed. If it has been opened and resealed, that assumption fails and so does the number.
When sealed product is a meaningful part of a collection, I suggest a reseal verification alongside the appraisal: weight against reference, seal and shrink pattern, and photographs, with a finding stated on the sheet.
What to send
For sealed product, the first message needs the product name, how many you have, and clear photographs of every side, including the seal and the shrink wrap. The check can be done in person across the Yuma area, or from photographs with that limitation stated on the sheet.
What the report says
The appraisal states the definition of value and its effective date, as every report does. If the reseal finding is inconclusive or not consistent with factory-sealed, the report says so, because a value for a box that may have been opened is not the same as a value for a sealed one. Reseal verification is a flat fee per box, quoted in writing, and the photographs from both checks are kept under the retention and consent policy.
