Older directory records without a published profile are not presented as available providers. Their review history is retained; a missing profile does not establish that a business has closed.

Donating an item

See a sample signed report before you choose a local listing or an online report.
Charitable donation valuations are a different assignment from insurance or resale work: they use fair-market-value concepts, and the receiving organization and your tax adviser set the documentation requirements. Some contributions require a federal qualified appraisal, which is a specific instrument with its own signer and inspection rules — confirm what yours needs before commissioning any report.
See Appraisily’s donation appraisal report and what it covers for the online option, or contact a Philadelphia appraiser from the listings on this page when an in-person inspection or specific credentials are required.
