Are online appraisals ok. I think you might not get an accurate assessment, if a person can't look at and hold the instrument. Thoughts?
I tend to agree with you. Pictures can leave out things that could be seen and/or felt if one had the item it his/her hand.
I'm not saying that online appraisals aren't legit, just I would prefer a live appraisal by a live person.
On line (photo) appraisals from the top of the line appraisers are OK, they know what to look for and how to phrase their appraisals.
Gruhn Guitars leaps to mind.
Others have included Curtis McPeake, Jim Mills, Steve Huber and others. They all know how to work from photos without sticking their necks out too far.
