Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment Value:

American Content Liquidator's appraisals require the study of all value influences.  Change and anticipation are fundamental in this study.  They characterize human collective action and value judgments, and appraisers study them by analyzing appraisal principles and related concepts, forces that influence value, and factors that create value.

The appraisal principles - supply and demand, substitution, balance and externalities - help to explain shifts in value.  In turn, trends in anticipation and change, which are revealed by an analysis of the principles, can be studied through the analysis of four forces - social, economic, governmental and environmental - that influence people and value.  This analysis provides a more detailed understanding of the causes of value trends and also aids in forecasting their strengths and durations.  An appraiser can then study characteristics of specific equipment and people who constitute a market for them in terms of four factors - utility, scarcity, desire and effective purchasing power - that create value in a particular item or collection of items.
