Hi Delia,

Thanks for all the help with all these appraisals. Are they all listed on the marketplace or is there something i need to do to ensure they are on there and available for offers?

I can see that the status is "public" but I can't see if these are "for sale" or not. If they are both"public" and "for sale," they are already listed on the marketplace and interested buyers can reach out with offers (you aren't obligated to accept any offers).
If you can't see and/or can't figure out how to make the status of these appraisals public/for sale, let me know and I'll forward to our customer support team to update their status accordingly...I can't do that on my end.

Do you have a similar item and want to know how much it’s worth?
