[QUOTE="Ghopper1924, post: 272898, member: 5170"]Thanks everyone! Prices for comparable pieces on "Not-to-be-mentioned-Bay" are anywhere from $1K-$1500.

The thing is that, around here, pier mirrors very rarely even come up for auction. Perhaps in the northeast U.S. they are more ho-hum, but I go to most of the auctions between Kansas City and St. Louis and I'll see maybe 2 per year. So....if I was on a nationwide search to buy a new one with, say, a one month deadline, I'd probably have to pay something like $1K, maybe $1200 to replace this one. Now if I chose to sell this one here, I'd expect to get something like $600 at a good auction around here, on a good day. Does all this make sense? Or should I just insure it for $600 and call it good?[/QUOTE]
