You could go to any consignment shop and see how much they think it is worth? And then you could sell it on EBay.

Call a real estate agent in the area.  They can do a CMA (Comparative Market Analysis) which should give you a pretty decent idea of property values there.

I'm sorry but I'm pretty sure you won't find a policy that covers those things.  You have an investment related problem, not an insurance one.  Talk to someone who can get you an investment that you can pull out of in the case of an emergency and will be sufficient enough to provide temporary income replacement for a specified time period.  It is also a general rule to always have on hand at least 6 months of income replacement in a savings account somewhere for emergencies only.

you should go to the BostonGlobe.com and use their archives..a lot would depend on the location (it is Everett) and size of also condition...I'd guess about $850.00

I wouldn't offer it for sale until I had some idea of it's value.  The Internet is a marvelous thing, see if you can find a board where collectors gather or contact an appraiser.  After you gain some knowledge you may want to contact the Nixon Presidential library, or try ebay.

Since you don't give any mint marks or any comments about condition, as well as only describing one side of the coin, this is hard to answer, but I'll do my best. \n\nFIRST COIN: I can't answer this without knowing what's on the back and the size of the coin. There were several coins from this period that looked like this - half dimes, quarters, dollars, and $10 dollar coins. E-mail me with details and dimensions, and I'll find out for you.\n\n\nSECOND COIN: CONGRATULATIONS!!!! You have a fairly rare coin that is worth, at the poorest grade, $85. If the coin is in pretty good condition, it could be worth thousands ($4000 sound OK?). I HIGHLY recommend you take this coin to a reputable dealer to have it appraised and placed in a protective case. You may also want to have it insured.

I'll answer following your question sentence by sentence.  Your mechanic has a lower estimate than the insurer...Well, estimates are, in fact, "estimates".  The appraiser for the insurer may have seen additional damage, or their could have been a part price increase.  Or, the mechanic's estimate was for structural and mechanic repair but did not include aesthetics such as blending paint to match faded, old paint.  The insurer can't estimate damages to repair a vehicle halfway - they have to write the cost to repair it completely.  By the mechanic's estimate or theirs, your vehicle would still be totaled.  This is because of the likelihood of additional, hidden damage that could be found in the middle of repairing the bike as well as other elements of a property damage claim, such as loss of use of the vehicle.\nNext, you say they offered $9000 to settle.  This may well be the valuation "AutoSource" listed.  But that's all a "book value" is - a number from a list.  Ask the adjuster to show you the AutoSource valuation if you are curious.  A book value cannot take into account factors such as the condition of your individual vehicle, not to mention aftermarket refurbishments.  And, finally, adding $8400 in aftermarket parts does not make the vehicle worth $8400 more.  Whatever you add to the bike, it is still a used version of the bike the manufacturer built.  Essentially, the insurer will pay you what the market will bear for your bike as it was just before the accident - Market Value.  It's a negotiable amount.  So if you want to "fight" the insurance company, bring something to them showing that it is worth more than they offered.  Find your own "book value" or some comparable vehicles sold recently.\nBy the way, you called those "compensatory damages".  Interesting you use the term.  After all, the insurer's job here is to "compensate" you for the value of what you lost.  You think they owe you more?  Why?  Think about "why" and then bring the answer to the insurer with documentation to back your assertions.

Depends on present day value of house, location, if it has not been insured for several years it will probably require an appraisal.\nThere are additional possibilities, such as contents, if such will be covered.\nWhen you purchase, buy Property and Casualty Insurance, which you cannot buy from an Insurance company selling life or automobile insurance.\nAnd you will save money by shopping around but be aware of why another companies prices are lower.  Companies with lower prices usually skimp on paying claims well.\nInitial cost has nothing to do with present day value, because current or present day value is the amount you want in case of a disaster, so replacing it will be easier.  With rising home values all over the US, pay for an appraisal and have it insured correctly because values will continue increasing as long as we desire a safe society.  You will probably be pleasantly surprised when you compare the initial value to present day value.\nOne good way to get a lower price is to take a higher deductable, but if the house is mortgaged, this may be difficult.  In other words, if you are responsible for up to the first $20,000 in damage, your insurance cost will be considerably lower.  The first 20k of insurance is the most expensive.

buy a fixzer upper..in a good enighborhood....that is at least 20% undervalued....and doesnt cost much to repair...cosmetic things like paint...or floors..or carpeting..etc.  learn to do a lot yourself.  after 2 years of fixing (and you get to sell tax free up to 250K of profit if unmarried) and so on if the market hasnt taken a huge dump....you should make a few dollars...sell it and take the $..buy another fixer...etc..etc..

Since there are no comps (comparables) for such a purchase, the only way to arrive at a purchase price is to figure out what it would cost (roughly) to rebuild it.\nI would pay an appraisor and talk to some real estate agents. Preferably, agents dealing in commercial real estate.

Be there WITH the home inspector. If he's good, you'll learn a lot about what to watch for, what could be improved, and how to maintain/avoid problems. The inspector's list of 'scare' items may be huge;to pare those down to actual items that would represent health & safety issues or you may lose the house if you're expecting an existing home to get whipped into 'brand new' shape for you by nitpicking every detail. [Example: Inspector warned us of hairline sink cracks--'could leak any time!' I didn't think I could justify making a seller 'repair' something that wasn't leaking, I lived there 8 yrs, it never leaked.] YOU might want to hit the FNMA website for 1st time homebuyer booklets, which may be of help. You've struck a big broad question--every deal will be different. Big hint: DON'T take assertions and promises verbally...needs to be in writing on purchase contract or addendum.The loan officer may or may NOT know anything--I've been in business 20+ yrs & you can't tell one from the other on your end. Attorneys may charge a flat fee for reviewing paperwork--the peace of mind may be well worth the expense. You don't need to put 20% down--I'd advise against it if it drains your cash reserves, or you'll be house-poor, broke, and scrambling for higher interest rate financing to survive.

I would check the closed auctions at Ebay.com or Yahoo auctions. Those are usaully good indicators of what the current value is on these types of items.

i work for a major insurer so think i can help...... poor workmanship is not covered.. its an exclusion on your policy.... its up to your insurers and the cover you have provided if they decide to cover the internal damage :-) If you have accidental damage cover on your policy, they usually will.. If the windows have been poorly installed... you should be looking to the window company to deal with both the windows and the resultant damage that the event has caused\n\nMaintenance issues are also a no no.... it is your responsiblity to make sure that your property is kept in reasonable condition.... if you think about it... if insurers covered maintenance issues... everyone would be ringing them to get their houses re-decorated etc..... thats not what insurance is for...... its for protection against unforeseen events... if you need more advice,,, drop me an e-mail

The person who ownes the property is responsible.  Keep following up and ask your insurance company if they can intervein.  The home ownership should be public record, so check with your county or city for the records.   You should send REGISTERED mail to the owner explaining the situation and get a few repair estimates to send along.  (make copies).  Take em to small claims court if no reply.  Make sure you have plenty of pictures.  You may also want to report the situation to the city administrator indicating it's a hazard to people as well as vehicles.  What if kids were playing around there and got cut!\nGood luck to you.
