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.

Hey, that gives me a neat idea: Why don't we start a "forum pool" by listing all our guns at astronomical prices, then assign a bookkeeper who keeps them on file. If somebody's gun is stolen, he can access the database and print out nice "market prices" for his insurance company... Then again, 5 minutes on Gunbroker would probably serve the same purpose...
