Finding an appraiser, for an item inside the hobby, who appraises items and is outside of this hobby IMHO is worthless. They do not have the knowledge of this hobby like a real hobby auctioneer. I have had many items offered to me that were "appraised" at some figure which is 2 or 3 times what it would really sell for.
No, an appraisal form a certified appraiser is not worthless especially when you will be using it for tax and or insurance purposes. Getting it appraised at the lowest possible value is not a recommendation.
