Whether you are settling an estate that includes a firearm collection, documenting a charitable donation for IRS compliance, or dividing assets during a divorce proceeding, a credentialed appraisal ensures your valuation is accurate, well-supported, and defensible before the IRS or a court. As part of our broader personal property appraisal services, we apply recognized methodologies and market data to produce reports that meet USPAP standards and IRS requirements.
AppraiseItNow serves clients throughout New Hampshire with both remote and onsite appraisal options, making it easy to get a qualified valuation regardless of your location or schedule. Our appraisers can work from photographs, documentation, and serial number records for online appraisals, or conduct in-person inspections for large collections or high-value individual firearms. We offer Fair Market Value (FMV), Replacement Value, and Actual Cash Value (ACV) appraisals for various intended uses.
AppraiseItNow appraises a wide range of firearms and related items, from single heirloom pieces to large private collections accumulated over decades. Our appraisers are familiar with the robust secondary market in New Hampshire, where permitless carry, no state registration requirements, and active private sales create a dynamic environment for firearm valuations. We appraise:
New Hampshire's antique firearms market is particularly notable, as pre-1899 and percussion-era guns are exempt from most state handgun regulations and frequently command premium prices among collectors. For estate and donation purposes, these pieces often require careful research into auction comparables and historical significance to support an accurate valuation.
AppraiseItNow serves individual gun owners, estate executors, attorneys, financial advisors, nonprofits, and collectors throughout New Hampshire who need credentialed, IRS-compliant appraisals for legal, tax, or financial purposes. Whether you are in Manchester, Nashua, Portsmouth, Concord, or a rural community across the state, our appraisers are ready to provide the documentation you need.
What New Hampshire clients say we are known for
Across 23 published New Hampshire appraisal reviews, every one from a client who paid AppraiseItNow for an appraisal, the three things they raise most often are that they would hire us again, how much research is visible in the report, and how quickly we answer.
I was skeptical at first, but the company exceeded all of my expectations. The team responded quickly to every question, and the service was excellent. They’re now my go to source for my collection. I’ve used them twice already, and I plan to use them several more times.
Firearms Appraisal for Personal Use
It is a pleasure to work with Joe and his team. They communicate every step along the way and made the process simple for us to have more than 35 firearms appraised. It was all done in a timely manner and the final report is easy to understand. I highly recommend their services.
Gun Appraisal for Probate
AppraiseItNow Inc. is the best company I was lucky to find by accident. I was looking for someone to appraise cabinets for a donation to charity. I asked for multiple referrals, called multiple appraisal services, etc., and no one could help me. I found AppraiseItNow and from the moment I started working with them, they were wonderful! Joe guided me on what I needed to send him, what needed to be done and stayed in touch with me the entire time. Their customer service is OUTSTANDING and a welcome surprise in today’s world where good customer service is an anomaly! They returned an appraisal in a timely manner, it was clear, concise, cost-effective and exactly what I needed. They followed up with me multiple times to ensure that I received it and everything was OK. My CPA is also thrilled to have them as an accredited appraisal service he can use for other clients. I rarely leave reviews, but I could not pass giving them 5 stars and I’d give 10 if possible! THANK YOU JOE AND ALL AT APPRAISEITNOW!!👊🏼
Personal Property Appraisal for Charitable Donation
I used AppraiseItNow for the first time last month and I was extremely pleased with the results. I needed an appraisal done for insurance purposes and the level of detail about each of my antique furniture pieces was thorough and very helpful in my being able to get the highest amount possible from my insurance company for the antique items that were damaged. I could see that they spent time making sure that the information she included was correct and current for my antique furniture items in the current market. The team responded to my emails timely to answer any questions I had. I would highly recommend Appraise It Now to get a thorough and professional appraisal done on antique items. I do intend to use them again for other antique furniture and jewelry that I have. Job well done! 😃🤗
Antique Furniture Appraisal for Insurance Claim
Joe made the process to have my piece of furniture appraised extremely easy, efficient and quick. My experience was great and I'd recommend AppraiseItNow to anyone looking for an appraisal.
Furniture Appraisal for Insurance Coverage
I asked AppraiseItNow to value a piece of sports memorabilia for purposes of a charitable donation. The item is rarely sold. Their research unearthed an important recent sale of a similar item, which I had not found previously, and which the first appraiser I used had not found either. AppraiseItNow was a good deal more expensive than the first service, but they crafted a detailed report in which I have much more confidence. They also helped me make sure the correct tax forms are used. Thank you!
Sports Memorabilia Appraisal for Charitable Donation
Given the USPAP-compliant nature of AppraiseItNow’s appraisal reports, we prepare our deliverables for major legal, tax, and financial reporting purposes for individual and commercial clients.
Popular uses of our appraisal reports include:
Three main ones: fair market value for estate, IRS, and donation work; replacement value for insurance, defined as the cost to replace the gun with one of similar quality in the retail market; and liquidation value for rapid-sale contexts, typically the lowest figure once commissions are netted out. The report should state which applies and why.
The Inventory of Fiduciary (form NHJB-2125-Pe) is due within 90 days of appointment with all personal property valued as of the date of death, and while an independent appraiser is only mandatory if the court orders one, probate guidance points to qualified appraisals for high-value items. A documented firearm appraisal heads off disputes among heirs.
Because unsold listings prove nothing about value. Fair market value rests on completed transactions for the same make, model, caliber, and condition, drawn from closed auction results and dealer archives. Owners who anchor on optimistic asks routinely over-insure their collections or misprice individual guns for sale.
Yes. RSA 159:12 generally makes selling, lending, or giving a pistol or revolver to a minor a misdemeanor, but the statute carves out an express exception that covers executors and administrators, alongside parents and grandparents. An estate distributing handguns to young heirs should still document each gun's value so the division stays even.
Because the market is deep for the state's size. Amoskeag Auction Company in Manchester runs national-caliber specialty auctions for antique and modern arms, producing realized prices close to home, and manufacturers like SIG SAUER in Newington and Ruger's castings operation in Newport anchor an active local firearms economy. That density gives appraisers better regional sales evidence than most states offer.
