Auction Arms is proud to announce a new partnership between AuctionArms.com, Inc. and Accredited Appraisal Services, Inc. Accredited Appraisal Services, Inc. is run by Joseph M. Cornell, CMA, ASA, ISA, and Mr. Cornell has the unusual distinction of being the only accredited and certified firearms specialty appraiser in the world.
With over 30 years of experience doing appraisals, Joseph M. Cornell, CMA, ASA, ISA has been awarded the professional designation of Certified Master Appraiser by the International Appraiser's Guild, Accredited Senior Appraiser by the American Society of Appraisers, and Accredited Member by the International Society of Appraisers.
If you do any amount of snooping into the backgrounds of other online appraisal services, you come to the conclusion that they aren't in fact doing appraisals at all, and are certainly not qualified to make that claim. In fact, one of the largest appraisal services that we looked into - one that is endorsed by eBay - has only the barest idea of what an appraisal is, and for firearms appraisals uses someone who's only qualifications are that he is "the son of a gunsmith." Unimpressive, to say the least.
We have no such qualms about recommending Accredited Appraisal Services, Inc. and it's founder - Joseph M. Cornell, CMA, ASA, ISA. We highly recommend Mr. Cornell, and if you are looking for someone with the integrity and experience that profession requires, Mr. Cornell is your man.
