Ebay selling my missing amplifier

OP keeps avoiding pertinent questions regarding insurance. Why?

@snook2 - Come-on man, why are you side-stepping the most obvious questions?  Is it possible that you're wealthy enough to buy an amp like this but too cheap to buy the insurance when you sent it in for the upgrades? That would explain the half-answers. My comment is only about as half-assed as the OP. A lot of people legit tried to help you on this, but all they get is more shuckin' and jiven'. I think it's time to put a fork in this one. 

The items were insured. The UPs claims are unresolved. Meaning no money was reimbursed to either of us. Thought that was a given.  The point of the post is about Ebay selling missing/ stolen goods.

I agree with you, it was a given.  Not sure why anyone would have thought otherwise.

Now that we have some data, you should have your attorney contact the appropriate people at UPS. It isnt your responsibility to track down/retrieve the goods. Since you have an open claim, you only need to prove that they most likely sold your goods to the third party. Threaten to file suit in your home venue for the full amount asserting theft by UPS. At what amount did your insure? 8 months is along time for an open claim. You are more patient than I.
