Here's a difference of opinion. What do you think? Two friends. I'm not going to say who's who. One lends the other friend some equipment that's in fantastic condition but it's a few years old. The other one, no fault of his own, unfortunately loses everything that was borrowed. His insurance company deducted 28% from replacement cost. How much should the original owner get. Full price to replace or the insurance deducted price?

Tricky question. I'm guessing that the fact that friend 2 is borrowing equipment means a shortage of funds to purchase or rent their own?

don't lay out your equipment unless you can afford to lose it

Replace in full. That would be how I handled it.

Full replacement price.
 
Full replacement price.
Absolutely!!! My father banged into my head, "When you borrow something, you return it as it was, or even better if it needs a cleaning!"

As a poor graduate student I borrowed my neighbor's "Nutcracker" and trashed it. Without hesitation, I went to Sears and bought him a new one, which cost about 1/10th of my weekly salary. I just ate more Ramen that week...
 
We both agree, money is not a factor.

Well, the language of insurance is for the claimant to be "made whole" in the event of a loss. Basically, pre loss condition. Naturally, they write a contract that stipulates the cash value of "whole" wherein they include depreciation or other "dings" against the value. Unless you're paying for a replacement value policy.

Since the borrower appears to have made the claim against their own insurance, they saved on the cost of full replacement policy, choosing to basically self-insure the balance.

Therefore they're obligated to self-insure the loaner for the balance.

Sounds very lawyerly, doesn't it?
