Appraisal Services in Minnesota

9 of the 449 antique stores we track in Minnesota have on-site appraisal services. Appraising is a separate, credentialed skill from buying and selling, and most antique shops that sell furniture and glassware don't offer it — a detail no map search surfaces. Every listing here has appraisal confirmed as an actual service on the business's own website, not assumed from "we buy antiques" signage. Full listings for every city are on the Minnesota page.

Call ahead and ask if it's verbal or written. A quick verbal estimate on an item you bring in is often free or cheap, but a written appraisal for insurance, estate, or IRS donation purposes usually runs $50-150 per hour or a flat $25-75 per item, and needs a certified appraiser, not just a store clerk with an eye for it.

Good to know about appraisal services

How much does an antique appraisal cost?
A free or low-cost verbal opinion on one item is common at shops that offer appraisals, but a formal written appraisal — the kind insurance companies or the IRS accept — typically runs $50-150 per hour or a flat $25-75 per item, with a full estate or collection appraisal running several hundred dollars depending on the number of pieces.

Do antique stores appraise items for free?
Some do a quick, informal verbal estimate for free as a way to build a relationship with a potential seller, but that's not a documented appraisal you can use for insurance or a sale. Anything you need in writing — for probate, insurance riders, or resale documentation — almost always carries a per-item or hourly fee, even at shops that waive it for a casual walk-in look.
