Hello,
I would be pleased to visit with you about your appraisal project, but I
will be out of the office until after Tuesday afternoon. In terms of
scheduling, I ordinarily work with a schedule of appraisals about a month
out, an pre-April-15 is a busy time. In terms of costs, the better the
existing inventory, the less time required for an appraiser's work. If there
is an accurate written inventory, I would be able to provide a range of fees
and a range of value, without obligation. I have prepared numerous
appraisals of large sound recordings of various formats, some high profile.
There are a lot of answers to questions about appraisals on our website at
mediavalue.com. There is an on-line form there for you to request us to send
you information of various sorts about appraisal procedures and standards,
and there is an on-line questionnaire for you to let me know a little more
about the project itself. I will ask our office to send you our brochure.
The information below, in addition to our web site, will help you to know
who I am and what I do as an appraiser. Hope to visit with you soon about
the appraisal project. Good luck.
Sincerely yours,
Steve Johnson

I have been asked to track down two or three individuals who would
be able to appraise a large collection of reel-to-reel tapes which are
stored in this general area of New York State. If you or anyone you
know of are interested, please respond to me by email, mail or
phone, fairly soon if possible.
Thanks.
