Machinery & Equipment Appraisal for Insurance Coverage
I recommend AppraiseItNow Inc. highly. I needed an appraisal of fair market value for geologic laboratory equipment for charitable donations to three universities. The unique items and limited secondary market complicated the valuation. They provided a sound, verifiable estimate and the 8283 forms that I was able to use in my tax filings. I would use them again.
Lab Equipment Appraisal for Charitable Donation
I highly recommend the AppraiseItNow team. They were responsive and timely from start to finish, and the whole process was seamless. The final report was super detailed and gave me all the information I needed. I am so glad I hired them and would recommend them to anyone needing an appraisal!
Technology Equipment Appraisal for Divorce
I needed an IRS-qualified appraisal for an unusual and costly piece of medical equipment. AppraiseItNow was able to provide me exactly what I needed on a timely basis. The personnel at the company are very friendly and helpful. I would definitely use them again.
Medical Equipment Appraisal for Charitable Donation
AppraiseItNow did an outstanding job appraising my 1998 Bobcat Skid Steer and circa 2010 Yuchai Crawler Dozer. We could not locate a serial number on the dozer, and there were no online sales available, but they were still able to develop an accurate appraisal using known specifications for my dozer compared to other comparable make and model dozers. They diligently researched both equipment items and provided well-documented reports.

Machinery & Equipment Appraisal for Bankruptcy Filing
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:
Against real transaction data. IronGuides, built from actual retail transactions, serves as the blue book for farm equipment, and we supplement it with auction results, dealer data, and trade publications, adjusting for hours, condition, attachments, and precision-ag options. Serial numbers, meter readings, and maintenance records anchor the adjustments.
No. New York does not have a personal property tax, so the annual assessor filings farm operations face in many other states do not apply. Equipment appraisals in New York are instead driven by estates, lending and collateral requirements, insurance, partnership changes, and casualty documentation.
Form 4684, Casualties and Thefts. The computation depends on the equipment's fair market value immediately before and after the event along with its adjusted basis, so a market-supported appraisal plus damage documentation is what substantiates the claim. An insurance declaration page alone does not establish deductible value.
An open-market standard. Debtor and Creditor Law Section 24 directs appraisers valuing property customarily sold in open markets to determine the range of market prices and their average over a reasonable period. For tractors and implements, that puts auction comparables, dealer retail and wholesale spreads, and time-adjusted sales evidence squarely at the center of the statutory analysis.
Not automatically. Real property is valued for tax purposes as of the preceding July 1, with taxable status generally set March 1, while equipment is valued as of whatever effective date the assignment requires, such as a date of death. Mixed farm estates therefore often carry different effective dates for the land and the machinery, and the report should state each explicitly.
