What is a Metalworking Equipment appraisal?
A Metalworking Equipment appraisal is the determination of the value of metalworking machines and their associated parts and components. The primary function of a metalworking equipment appraisal is to establish fair market value. Metalworking equipment appraisals are conducted to facilitate a purchase, sale, liquidation, donation, or insurance dispute.
The appraiser must take into consideration the age, condition, use, and current market value of the equipment being appraised. Metalworking equipment appraisals also involve evaluating the method of sale (auction, sealed bid, private sale, etc.), present market conditions, anticipated market conditions, and other economic factors. Appraisal fees are typically based upon the scope of the assignment, the level of detail desired, and other variables such as location and access to the individual metalworking machines or components.
The ultimate objective of a metalworking equipment appraisal is to provide a fair market value report that can be utilized for any monetary value requirement. This provides a reliable source of revenue to the owner or seller. The report typically includes a detailed analysis and photographs illustrating the condition and operating characteristics of the equipment.
