Selling a cue of a deceased cuemaker

[dukeboy1977]

Just a question since I am doing just this. Lets say I sell my Tim Scruggs 4 point cue, and I go to ship it out. I ship my items well packed but lets say that somehow it actually does get damaged during shipping. Now what? If I have X amount of insurance on it, how do I PROVE it is really worth it? The cuemaker is gone, so who could vouch for its true value and force the shipper to honor my insurance? What happens in this instance?

I already posted this reply on the other identical thread.........

You invest a few bucks and obtain an appraisal from a reputable cue dealer, such as Cornerstone Cues.
You carry homeowners or renter's insurance and also properly insure the cue when you actually ship it.
You have documentation corroborating the value of your cue(s). Nothing comes free & we all pay for it.

Insurance

It replaces what you paid. You need a receipt. You have to prove what you paid.
That is about it. The insurance is for your loss.
Out of pocket.

Don't use USPS in any instance -- good like trying to collect on an insurance claim with them.
