Would you like me to apologize again?

I'm sure those same Attorneys with payment of the proper retainer would also argue that a discussion of what features make an item less valuable is part of an appraisal process.

My services are provided pro bono to the forum.

My real point is that your rule about appraisals is too vague.

This may well be: we're only human.

To clarify, this thread is okay. A thread or post that asks, "What is this ______ worth?" is not.
