Guys, need a bit of advice on the impact on value of damage.

Adam's just been in touch about the Hodgson I sent him and it's been damaged in the post. Obviously he's returning it to me and the cheques ripped up.

Anyway. I'm going to have to file a claim against the Royal Mail, the box was wrapped in bubble wrap (2 layers) and heavy brown paper before being sent Special Delivery, so there's no excuse against poor packaging.

What I need to know is what would be the impact on value of

Scratched seat unit (no pic until I get it back unless Adam posts one)
Broken paddock stand, apparently minor (again no pic)

There's also an issue with the left bar looking like it's been stuck back on! Which I'm concerned happened in the shop before I bought it (returned, repaired, re-sold???)

Anyway, I need some guide as to how much of an impact it would have on the value (%ages would be good)

Thanks in advance guys, and Adam, I'm really sorry you've been let down.

Thankfully I insured it, maybe I should have had those armed guards after all..
