Replacing parts values for insurance after the fire

[rcsoundn1]

So, as some know my house burned down, and because of this I lost all of my extra car parts. Now I need to make a list of what I lost and show value. Your input would help me a lot as to how you would value the parts. It’s a long road, and it’s going to be difficult to value the parts, and THEN argue the value if I have to. Here is the list I have so far:
- Full set of sealed beam lights with buckets
- Convertible top straps
- 1 front, 1 Rear ashtray
- Rear console
- Early tail lights, early model
- Vert sun visors
- Rear DB impact strip
- leather steering wheel BMW 325i
- European Gauge cluster BMW 325i
- Trunk carpet, all 325i
- Front plastic splash shield BMW 325i
- 2 turn signal buckets BMW 325i

I'm sorry to hear about the fire. I hope that your insurance is quick to act and fix your place. I would be extremely upset if we were to have a fire.

List wise in used prices I'm thinking 700 max.

For new parts claim invoice/replacement and for used claim market value through ads, eBay, CL and the forum etc. use Invoices, PayPal receipts, pics etc to prove what you had and paid

Maybe pull together two lists.

One with prices sourced from BMW direct (don't use the Real OEM prices, those are extremely outdated any more.)

The second do a search on eBay and check Completed/Sold listings.

If it's not on the regular US site, check ebay.uk.co and ebay.de - then figure extra for shipping.

You could go off what you paid, but that is not always what it'll cost replace.

None of this list was new, all used
