Perhaps you should see a health-care practitioner? Or a model agency? The
value of your body is really hard to determine without having seen it, and
I guess that it also depends on the eyes of the beholder. Also, I don't
know how far they've come in the body-transplant-business yet...

Ahh, so *that* body ;) Should have known...

Well, I recently acquired a mint OM1 (not n) for USD 100. (And another,
the one with the misfortunate meter but cosmetically mint, with a
Varimagnifier for another USD 100).
I am not sure if those prices are indicative. I guess that chances are
that Tom may know more?

Hmm.....ask your insurance agent / mom how these things are normally dealt
with. My approach was "gross overestimate, then purchase gear to
match" ;)
Again, seriously, you should check in with the agency on how they stand on
future purchases. And I'd say better overestimate a bit...
