[QUOTE="nuMRmatist, post: 2198536, member: 33012"]Glad to hear you're back in Black... I don't know for sure either jw, about a claim. I imagine everyone here should consider all factors. From USPS website, for filing insurance claim: [SIZE=3][B]Proof of Value[/B][/SIZE] Proof of value can include: [LIST] [*]1) A sales receipt [*]2) A paid invoice or paid bill of sale [*]3) Statement of value and/or estimates of repair costs from a reputable dealer [*]4) A credit card billing statement [*]5) Receipt of costs incurred for reconstruction of non-negotiable documents [*]6) Printouts of the online transaction identifying the purchaser and seller, price paid, date of transaction, description of item purchased, and assurance that the transaction status is completed [/LIST] Given that, you're right - you DO have to prove value, regardless of 'insured' value. To make a case, you start with an extreme. So let's say that the seller FOUND a coin - say any coin with HIGH value, even in poor condition. The coin is worth about $1k, [B]+/-[/B]. Seller insures it USPS for $1,200 (because market value MIGHT BE $1,200 (or MORE) ). It gets lost, he files a claim for $1,200. IMO, he should get it, no questions asked, since its' value is AROUND $1k... Wouldn't you think? derker - there will always be bad guys. No matter how much you pay them...[/QUOTE]
