Thank you for the appraisal, but I am a bit disappointed with the level of detail provided. The information was already known to me, and there was a lack of deeper analysis or market comparisons. For the price, I expected a more detailed assessment, especially with references to auctions or similar sales. I hope that future appraisals can offer more depth.
