snipped: "How does one value what can't be replace?"
you have to be subjective if you're going to worry
about it at all. if you can't replace it and that bothers
you, treat it as "art" or an antique. contact Chubb or
some other zoot firm that understands these matters.

For example: from time to time, I've placed legit wanted to buy queries for specific bicycles to the List with no responses - that gives me an idea they're difficult or impossible to find. How does one value what can't be replace? Also, how should I value the bike? Example, my 73 International. 1) Compleat bike maybe $250 - $350 ? 2) Price out each component in the BOM for perhaps $450 - $550? 3) Describe it as a design spec. for a new build from a "Keeper" builder for $ several thousand?
I was hoping to learn from this Insurance topic.
Though, from the responses from Listers, it seems that the best "insurance" may not be a bona fide policy but a savings plan.

not in so many words - but that was my pov.
why don't you list your bicycles(s) and we'll tell you
want to assess them for?
