I'm faced with calculating a replacement value for each item. My method has been to take all examples and calculate an average price. Does this fly with insurance companies? Anyone ever have such an experience? Any suggetions for finding more prices (the larger the sample the better the numbers)? > >ben.holmes Ben, When I had a car burglary I gave them catalogs with the objects stolen in them. I paid less for the objects, and gave them the actual prices .. had receipts for some, but not all, of it. They paid per contract. Some of the items were not covered, some were. Some were covered at a percentage. Current value of equipment (i.e., Tamarkin, Chatterton, etc.) would probably be the best way. Heck, give the insurance company rep their telephone numbers.
