AUSTIN, Texas, April 23, 2008 -- iTaggit.com, the leading collecting web site, announced today the release of their Valuation Manager tool to help users more easily find and track the value of their items. This innovative tool tracks and charts the value of an item over time. Users can also use the Historical Value Estimator, which helps find relative market values based on the final sales of price of similar items on eBay.com over the last year.
A user simply has to upload their item on iTaggit and click on the valuation tool. The information gathered is charted on their item's record and allows the user to track fluctuations in the value of their item. Users can also manually enter and track market values on individual items and track them over time.
As the economy continues to be uncertain, many people are looking to find the value of the things they already own and turn these items into cash, such as collectibles and antiques, said David Altounian, Chief Executive Officer of iTaggit Inc. "In addition, it has proven difficult to find the market value of these unique items and good value history is important when selling items, insuring them, or trying to do estate planning.
