Marcus Feld

Accredited collector-car appraiser who reads the market through hammer prices, condition tiers and risk.

Marcus Feld is a collector-car appraiser based in Chicago, where he values cars for insurance, estates and buyers who want the truth before they wire the money. He works auctions from the back of the room with a notebook, tracking not just what sold but what did not and why. Marcus writes about value with an appraiser's discipline: condition tiers, documentation, liquidity and downside risk. He is drier than a salesman and a lot more useful when the check is real.
