What does this mean?

Dear William,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. Sadly regarding technical problems, the images and messages were not displayed. I apologize for the delay of the appraisal.

The presented object appears to be a wood carving with unknown measurements. The sculpture depicts a person with outstretched arms. Sadly there is no signature visible or this artwork can be attributed stylistically to a known artist. This piece was made in the last third of the 20th century.
This piece is in good condition and there are no serious damages visible.
An estimation would be between 20 to 40 USD.
This estimation is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and vary.

With kind regards,
Georg

Dear William,

Thank for your friendly email. The artist Marcus Seelund is not listed which means that he is not known on the auction market. This means the given estimate is correct.

With kind regards,
Georg

Your very welcome !So everything you appraise is between 20 and 40 dollars??? If some one spend 35 to 40 hours carving a piece of cherry wood and you insult them with that ridiculous price what do you expect ??/ If you are so smart why don't you try carving a piece of cherry wood? Not a easy task by any means !

Dear William,

Sadly not everything I apprise is between 20 and 40 USD. That would be good for the buyers and bad for the owner. Funnily when I was a child doing carved wooden sculptures was one of my hobbies. We have to differentiate what a piece should cost remembering of the labor hours and what collectors are willing to pay. Sadly this is not correlating.
Sadly I don't see a higher price potential in an auction for this sculpture.

With kind regards,
Georg
