My question is... how do they know what my item was worth? There had been no similar sale on Ebay nor in any other auction (that I could find). I had printed proof of what someone was willing to pay for it an auction setting. UPS told me that this was their best estimate.... but could not provide any evidence, just their best estimate. I declared the exact amount (minus shipping costs) at the time of shipping and they gladly took my money for insurance of $300. They allowed me to over-insure but they wouldn't pay the full amount... for their mistake. Childish as it may be... I won't use their services anymore. Screw me once shame on you, screw me twice..... won't happen again!

BTW... thanks for the tip on homeowner's insurance.... that's something I hadn't thought of. It's been 4 years since I've been in my house as well... Thanks. -Mike
