Another M'gauze fan huh? My insurance Co. has been very good at allowing
me to place my own FMV on my collection. Of course, they then adjust my
rate. They couldnt care less if I value Tandoori Dog at $ 10 or at $100.
They'll pay out whatever it is; the REAL problem is if one can replace
the items or take the cash and move to the Caymans.
