Hi Larry,

Can you tell me a bit more about the appraisal process and how the insurance
companies regard it. My 93 Cabriolet was recently totalled in an accident
--- and the insurance 'settlement' was pitiful. It's got me worried about
what would happen if my Westy was hit. Maybe we, as a list, should compile a
bunch of data on sale prices the way you're doing and keep it somewhere for
all to use. I'd be happy to host it if there's interest.

Cheers,
Doug
