Quality Condition Adjusted Mean Methodology: A Comparative Valuation Tool for the Appraiser

This paper explores the process of using a quality/condition adjusted mean methodology (Q-CAMM) to determine value of a subject property. A quality/condition adjusted mean regulates comparable values based upon condition level and quality points, and arrives at a final value conclusion relative to the subject property’s intrinsic features and state of preservation. Q-CAMM continues to rely upon the personal opinion and experience of the appraiser while introducing additional mathematical components to basic statistical averaging.

Reconceiving Connoisseurship, by Carol Strone

Connoisseurship is a dead language and a dead art. Or so art theorists with disdain for aesthetic judgments would have us believe for some 40 years now. Indeed, connoisseurship has long languished — unfashionable and unpracticed — in academic circles and beyond. But still it matters for many people, and there are signs of a renaissance, even in the most unlikely realms of the art world. The time is ripe for reconceiving connoisseurship as relevant to furthering culture and seeing with maximum powers of observation that which humankind creates.

Specialists: Become Listed in "Maloney's"

Saturday, August 14, 2010 Reporter: Dave Maloney 1 Comment

I am pleased to announce the return of "Maloney's Antiques & Collectibles Resource Directory." For fourteen years "Maloney's" was published in book form during which time it was hailed as the "...best one-volume research tool in print" (Gannett News Service) and as a Best...Reference Book (Library Journal). We plan on launching a subscription-based online version of the directory this fall and a book version this winter. With over 17,000 resources in over 2,000 categories of antiques and collectibles, "Maloney's" is known for its accuracy and for being the only comprehensive resource of its kind in existence. And now it will be online—fully searchable and constantly updated!

While we are unable to list generalists such as generalist dealers or appraisers, "specialist" resources are welcome to submit their listing application at MaloneysDirectory.com.

"Maloney's" lists specialist collectors, dealers, experts, appraisers, periodicals, clubs/associations, auction services, museums and libraries, suppliers of parts, reproduction sources, reference book sellers, manufacturers/distributors/producers, online sites for specialized valuation research, matching services, grading services, authenticators, repair/restoration/conservation specialists, vendors to the trade and specialized Internet informational websites.

Go to MaloneysDirectory.com. Search by your last name, company name or other fields to see if you are already in the database. If so, you can edit your listing(s) or add yourself under a different specialty area. If not already listed, you are welcome to add your listing if you are a specialist.

As usual, there is no cost or obligation to be listed in "Maloney's." email
