[Premium-Rx] JRC 92 on ebay

[Peter Gottlieb]

It is extremely rare to collect on insurance for anything except loss, and even 
that is tough.  I have stopped selling things on eBay and now canabalize or 
throw out or sell locally ever since I was unable to collect on a claim (after 
months of work) where a receiver was smashed by UPS.  It was double-boxed with 
bubble wrap in two directions.  The carton was crushed.  The last word from 
UPS's insurance carrier was that they would deny the claim because I used a 
previously used box (it was in fine condition).  Perhaps a reinforced steel 
outer case is what they expect?  Not only did they not pay up, but they wasted 
untold hours of mine filling out endless forms, having several inspections, etc. 
  All this for a $300 repair claim.
