Selling one of my teeners, House fire forces toy sale Options

[Sparky]

I posted awhile back about the chimney fire at the new house I bought. I've exhausted all of my resources fixing the damage from this and am still short a few thousand. So some of my toys are going. See my ad in the classifieds and help a brother out. I am holding on to my shell as I am in the middle of a conversion on it but my '72 driver has to go. So do my custom Peavey amps, my PA system, atleast one of my custom guitars, basically all my toys. The insurance company says the damage to the chimney, flue and house were all caused by the chimney fire but it was pre-existing to the sale of the house to us.

Any ways in short the toys gotta go and I'm barely being allowed to keep the shell.

My best to all,

here is an option that might let you keep a few more toys or maybe just the 914.... go get a short term personal loan to fix the house, lets say 6 k or about what you might get for the 914. then when you do your taxes you have a fire loss of what ever you put in to the house and your tax refund should pay the loan off.

my house burned a few years ago and i was a renter with out insurance, i got a nice tax refund from it.

btw the irs changed regs a few years back, they now have to prove that what you say you lost you did not have not, you have to prove you had it, so simply put that brand new 2000 dollars mattress that got ruined and the brand new wall to wall carpet that cost 4 grand that the firefighters ruined you can get back ( or at least before tax dollars ), just save pics of everything that got ruined .... cant tell the difference on the pic between 10 year old carpet and new stuff

good luck
