An insurance appraisal estimates the cost of replacing the fur with a new garment. Cash value reflectstoday’s secondhand market and is usually much lower. Original price does not determine resale value. Age, dry or brittle pelts, odors, worn areas, dated styling, and size can all lower what a buyer can pay.
