  • I recommend AppraiseItNow Inc. highly. I needed an appraisal of fair market value for geologic laboratory equipment for charitable donations to three universities. The unique items and limited secondary market complicated the valuation. They provided a sound, verifiable estimate and the 8283 forms that I was able to use in my tax filings. I would use them again.

    Lab Equipment Appraisal for Charitable Donation

  • AppraiseItNow did an outstanding job appraising my 1998 Bobcat Skid Steer and circa 2010 Yuchai Crawler Dozer. We could not locate a serial number on the dozer, and there were no online sales available, but they were still able to develop an accurate appraisal using known specifications for my dozer compared to other comparable make and model dozers. They diligently researched both equipment items and provided well-documented reports.

    Medical Equipment Appraisal for Charitable Donation

    Machinery & Equipment Appraisal for Bankruptcy Filing

    Technology Equipment Appraisal for Divorce

  • They did an appraisal of medical equipment for donation. They did it quickly, and I received a blank form 8283 signed by the appraiser. It was what I needed. The price was higher than I wanted to spend on an appraisal, but a lot lower than other appraisers. AppraiseItNow was very responsive and communicative, and the other appraisers were not. I would use them again.

Frequently Asked Questions on Laundry Equipment Appraisals

How is commercial laundry equipment valued?

By triangulating dealer asking prices, auction realizations, and comparable used-machine sales under the sales comparison approach, checked against replacement cost new less depreciation. Heavy-duty commercial washers and dryers often stay serviceable long after accounting depreciation runs out, so the depreciation curve has to be justified rather than assumed.

Does replacement cost set the value of laundromat machines?

No, it is a starting point at most. Machine sets with strong utilization and modern controls can support values above a depreciated book figure, while obsolete or hard-to-move equipment trades well below replacement cost. Age, brand, capacity, and sale conditions drive the final number.

What information should I gather before a laundry equipment appraisal?

Purchase dates and prices, current book value, maintenance history, and machine-level facts: brand, model, age, capacity, and condition. Installation and removal costs, missing components, and downtime also change what a buyer would actually pay, so flag them up front.

How is laundry equipment valued for an estate?

At fair market value as of the date of death, or the alternate valuation date when elected, for reporting on IRS Form 706. Each asset ties to that specific date and market condition, so preserving inventory lists, serial numbers, and condition evidence early keeps the valuation defensible rather than reconstructed later.
