Felix is an antique dealer if they could be sold he would have put them on the market. When he made the call he did not know BC was after them.The value of any item is determined by what a person is willing to pay for it. For sports fans, Babe Ruth's last home ball has a high value, for me it would have very little value. Gold's industrial value is way less than its value to collectors. The open market value of a book by some obscure author from the 1500's would be very low, unless someone collected that author. On Antiques Roadshow, they show things with a value of X$ in a shop, XX$ at a auction. I am acquainted with some folks who collect Nazi relics-myself I would burn them. Felix knew a Grimm would be willing to pay top dollar, so that is why he called Monroe-he didn't know any Grimms on a social basis. Nick thought the value was good, he just didn't have $100k just lying around-most of us do not keep that in the top drawer of the dresser.
As far as insuring property at least in California. Home owner insurance is on what you define as your primary residence. It has nothing to do with how much you stay their. You can also have insurance on what is vacation or rental property. The rates and tax breaks differ. There are those that spend years living in say a cabin or a house on the shore. Yet they keep the house in the city as their primary residence.
Another thing that prevents the trailer from qualifying as protected property. You could never get and address issued for the trailer. True the property has a tract and lot number and property taxes is paid on it. You could also have insurance on the land and everything on it. You could also get insurance as a recreational vehicle. But the land would always be listed as unimproved. Now if the trailer was outfitted as live able. or outfitted to support a business then it could file for an address. But to do that it would need to be inspected and would need to meet certain civil ordnance codes. Nick could never let the trailer be inspected. Just like he could never report the fire.
I was thinking it was Monroe who thought the books were a good deal and he was trying to convince Nick so that Nick could go to HW and request the funds.
Nick is an odd duck who has strange contradictions. He leaves his own Grimm books relatively unprotected in a remote location, yet goes to an organization that he is not part of to get money for the Grimm books Felix wants to sell.
The best way to frustrate a cyberbully is to ignore him.
