1. Contact us.  Either e-mail us by clicking on the "contact" button, or phone (630)359-9013 and ask for Tom Guerin. Tell us how many firearms you have;their make and models. Also, tell us in what city or town you live and whether you:

·     will be able to bring the firearms to us (we have locations on the east coast, in the midwest and in the southwest), or

·     will be shipping them, or

·     want one of our consultants to travel to you.

2. Fee determination.  Based upon the information you provide to us, we will determine the fee for appraising each of your firearms and communicate that information to you.
    

3. Engagement.  If you want to proceed with the appraisal and agree to pay the fee(s) agreed upon, we will provide you with our standard Engagement Agreement, setting out the terms of our engagement for you to sign and return to us.
    

4. Bring or ship your firearms to us.  After we receive your signed Engagement Agreement, we will call to arrange a mutually acceptable time schedule.
    

5. We will prepare your appraisal and if you shipped your firearms to us, we will return them.  If we ship the firearms, we will let you know when to expect to receive them.  We will provide you with two copies of each appraisal letter, one for your records and one for your insurance company.
