Appraisal

[topekatj]

I signed up for coverage today, $25K in coverage @ $250/ yr. Amps, too!

Thanks for the suggestion!

Yes - that's right.  They paid me for the repair and the loss of value.  

Uuh, so does that mean you can insure the Orca again now at half its value ?

I don't see why not.  If I still owned it, that is.

How about using the vintage guitar price estimates. That's what most use for pricing, and I'll bet @Willie G. Moseleycan hook you up.

Except that guide is (and always has been) totally worthless.

With Clarion, anything over 5K requires an appraisal.

They do cover amps/interfaces/other gear though.  The "appraisal" can be a sales receipt.  (I've done this before.)

When I had some of my basses appraised at We Buy Guitars they used the Vintage Guitars book.

They had the '77 Inca Silver Stingray appraisal in the mid $1k range.

I tried Gruhn Guitars to appraise the same bass and they said it was worth under $1000.00.

My old guitar buddy said it's whatever the current sell price is on eBay.

And he was right.

That's a fools errand, @Jimbilly, There is literally no advantage to going that route.
 

Yeah, that was kind of my point, that I failed to make: the appraisals would cost way too much.  Heritage sounds like Grundy collector car insurance, they do stated value, but you have to provide a bunch of pics. I need to up the value of my old 944S2, I think I pay about $250 a year, my stated value is $14k I think.

I've also had collector car insurance, although I don't recall the provider.  

They, understandably, required a bunch of pix (as if it were a chore to photograph ny GTO), but I've never had to provide Heritage with any photos.  Not even for the damaged Huber Orca.
