... 24/2013 12:00:00 AM by CompleteMarkets Editor , Barry Zalma 1 Verified Reviews - 5 of 5.0 1 2 3 4 5 The insured was 82 years old and bored. She had been born shortly after the turn of the century to a wealthy family of Connecticut merchants. She'd been a debutante and had lived most of her life in luxury. Now, at 82, she was a widow living alone. She had a small income from her husband's estate and 82 years' worth of things. But things bored her. Living alone bored her. Simply passing the days exhausted her. Her life needed something to keep her interest. She recalled that shortly before World War II, when she and her husband lived in New York City, they got all their fine things appraised by Leo McCarthy, the foremost pre-war art appraiser. The appraisal was written on sheets of 11 1/2 - by 14-inch artist's vellum, and a pen-and-ink drawing illustrated each line of fine descriptive script. She took one sheet to the local stationery store and had them order 50 sheets of similar paper. When the paper arrived, she sat at the kitchen table for weeks, meticulously copying with a fountain pen each sheet of McCarthy's work. She lightly traced the line drawings with a very soft pencil and then drew over the pencil lines in ink. The only thing she changed were the values-to reflect what she believed to be modern prices. She cautiously erased all the pencil lines with a soft gum eraser. Each page was a masterful copy, as ably illustrated as any Bible page ...

... Here's the experience of someone we'll call Joe: Joe bought his Auto insurance from Midwest Insurance through the Middletown Agency, whose principal is Joe's lifelong friend. Last month, Joe was in an accident that damaged the right rear side of his new Mercedes. He called Midwest, who took the accident report and called a tow truck, which took the car to ABC Body Shop. Midwest then referred the claim to the Middletown Agency. When Joe called the agency to inquire about ABC, he was referred to Sally, who handles claims. Sally said that Middletown would never recommend ABC and that he should take the car to Prime Auto Body or Top Notch Auto Body-the agency's usual recommendations. Joe had the car towed to Prime. ABC told him that they would send him a bill for an appraisal, which they were authorized to perform based on the tow job order. Prime performed its own appraisal, which was sent to Midwest and Middletown. Midwest then informed Middletown that Joe had to use ABC (because its appraisal was lower) or that Prime had to match ABC's price (which was based on after-market parts) . Prime refused to lower its appraisal, which was based on OEM parts. After three weeks, Midwest agreed that Joe could have the car repaired at the body shop of his choice, but insisted that he accept after-market parts. Joe refused. He called his old friend Bob at Middletown Agency and asked for help. Bob was unable to resolve the issue with Midwest. After a heated discussion, Joe decided to have the car repaired at Prime and pay the ...
