Understanding Valuation Terms
- Insurance Replacement Value: This refers to the cost of replacing your item with a similar one in a retail setting. It’s often higher than the item’s actual market value due to factors like retail markups and brand premiums.
- Fair Market Value: This is the price at which your jewelry or watch would sell in the current market, assuming both the buyer and seller are knowledgeable and willing, but not under any pressure to buy or sell.
- Marketable Cash Value: This is the amount you can realistically expect to receive from the sale after considering factors like seller’s fees, buyer’s premiums, and market conditions. It’s the net amount you’ll pocket from the transaction.
