I think I can offer an alternative explanation...One that I use for my motorcycles & Corvette. I keep a file of 'For Sale' listings of those items for insurance purposes. I find the highest valued listings I can, carefully dated, and print them out and keep them in my safe. Online ads, newspaper classified clippings, Swap Sheet pages.

It would not be out of line to post an ad with an inflated value and then print it out and include it with your itemized homeowners insurance rider, whether it sells or not.

It is probably something I should be doing for my guns.
