Payment for Value Statement ($25.00)

Due to overwhelming requests, ALL Requests must include all the information needed. We will not make calls to get fax numbers, addresses, Harp ID"s or model/finish information. Incomplete information will result in failure to satisfy your request.

VENUS harp models are NAMES not numbers (Ex. Classic, Penti etc).  Please DO NOT quote the No.74, No.75, No.76 - these are the generations of the action plate designs and have nothing to do with model or Harp ID's.  All harps are tracked for warranty and other purpose via their Harp ID and then their model name.  The actual Harp ID is found on the very lower left hand corner of the action plate under all the other etched printing.  It will be a 3 digit number for older harps and harps after late 1982 will begin the 4 digit series.

Appraisals for value purposes for estates, sales and other requests outside of general replacement insurance
 
If you are asking for an actual Physical APPRAISAL of your harp based on its overall physical condition (major component and structural integrity) as well as cosmetic and performance condition, for purposes other than insurance coverage please be advised that we cannot do appraisals over the phone, via fax, e-mail or by using photos.  An appraisal of a harp once put into writing is a legal document, therefore the appraisal for the harp must be done in person with either factory personnel at the VENUS location and the actual harp being appraised or by prior arrangement for a factory tech to examine the harp in its location to suggest an appraisal value.  There is no charge for this service at the VENUS Factory in Chicago, we only ask that you make an appointment to bring the harp in for appraisal and it is conducted during normal factory/showroom hours Monday - Friday.  
 
If it is impossible to physically bring the harp to the factory, a factory tech can come to the harps location if/when he is scheduled for either a delivery or regulation trip into your area, there is a minimal travel fee for this service but must be scheduled prior to the tech's planned trip so he can arrange appraisal time to coordinate with other scheduled activities.  A tech being sent for this specific purpose ONLY will be at the cost of his round trip travel expenses to and from the factory to your location and an hourly rate for his time in travel and while conducting the physical examination of the harp in question.  Payment is due in full at the time of physical appraisal.  Special trips such as this will be at the discretion and decision of VENUS management and the availability of personnel and we are provided with adequate notice of the time frame involved.
