appraisal services in Nor Cal and insurance suggestions

[cpk]

My insurance policy dramatically increasedat renewal so I want to do some shopping but I've found it hard to find a policy quote because I've insured my pieces via purchase receipts.

Can anyone Offer advice on either reasonable appraisal service suggestions or insurance providers who will use purchase receipts rather than appraisals?

I'm with Travelers currently.

Thanks ?

I appreciate any and all advice

I use AXA on top of my regular home insurance. The policy fluctuates between receipts, or appraisals depending on value, I think anything over 5000.00 that is valued more than the purchase receipt needs an appraisal.

Very reasonable policy for me so far.

Also, Paddle 8 appraises works, free. Might be an option.
