Appraisal Service and Fee Bands
Last checked: · 049-Rev3-L (reference-reported)
Direct answer
Appraisal is a paid estimate service, not a counterfeit verdict. The reference-reported Demo rules accept estimates from 50% through 150% of true value and charge membership before appraisal customers can be attracted by the Junior Certificate.
Join and submit a supported estimate
The reported fee is 85 Credits on normal mode or 170 on hard mode. Display the Junior Certificate after joining, inspect the offered item and calculate its value with the relevant reference. Each rejected estimate adds 49 impatience; at 100 or more the customer leaves.
| Accepted range | 50%–150% of true value |
|---|---|
| Perfect accuracy | 95%–105% |
| Base service payment | 20 Credits plus a percentage of your estimate |
Accuracy and payout are different measures
Perfect estimates use 5%; Excellent 8%; Good 10%; Mediocre 12%; Awful 15% of the submitted estimate. The exact band depends on distance from true value. A larger fee is therefore not proof of greater accuracy. The Master Appraiser achievement tracks ten perfect appraisals in the reference.
