Blue Tab 106 — G21 Base Damages — Forced Liquidation (Instruments & Gear) — Evidence-Only¶
GUARDRAIL: BLUE — G21 BASE DAMAGES
G21 flood-related base damages only. No enterprise multipliers, no Freeman Street.
0) Purpose & Scope (Blue discipline)¶
This tab inventories forced, post-flood liquidations of instruments, studio gear, and related equipment, with dated sale records (e.g., Reverb orders, bills of sale) and equity or net-loss events where applicable.
No calculations are performed on this page. All math (including 9% simple interest per CPLR 5001–5004) is performed centrally in Blue Tab 002 using sale/settlement date anchors (Tab 002 §3.2).
1) Valuation Summary — Bases to be entered in Tab 002 (pre-interest)¶
Principals below are the bases for interest in Tab 002. For sale rows, "principal" reflects the documented transaction total used in the original v1.0 evidence packet (Reverb buyer-paid totals where that is how the record is documented; non-Reverb at face amounts). Counsel may substitute payout-net figures in Tab 002 if preferred—the date anchors remain unchanged.
| Component (evidence bundle) | Basis Type | Principal (USD) | Date Range | Evidence Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A. Reverb API Discrete Components (≈18 items; e.g., API 2520) | Sale Proceeds (sum) | $1,357.45 | 2019-11 → 2020-10 | Files on file |
| B. Major Instruments & Amplifiers (5 documented sales) | Sale Proceeds (sum) | $8,820.03 | 2023-06 → 2023-08 | Files on file |
| C. Baldwin SF-10 Grand — Equity Extinguished | Equity Loss | $7,800.00 | 2023-Q3 | Files on file |
| D. Custom Acoustic Treatments (15 units) — Distress Sale | Net Loss | $4,811.80 | 2023-10-05 | Complete |
Category subtotal (known principal; pre-interest): $22,789.28 (A + B + C + D; all components complete).
All interest applied once in Blue Tab 002.
Consensus Position¶
Tier: 1 — Documented Floor
Principal: $22,789.28
Status: Documented (sale records + equity loss + net loss)
Cross-reference: Feeds into Tab 002 Section 5.1.1. Components: Reverb API sales ($1,357.45) + Major instruments ($8,820.03) + Baldwin equity ($7,800.00) + Acoustic treatments net loss ($4,811.80).
Guardrails:
- Date anchors = sale/settlement dates (Tab 002 §3.2).
- Each line ties to a source_doc_id (order/receipt/bill of sale).
- No double recovery with Tab 101.1 (Recording Studio) or Red/White tabs (see §6).
2) Evidence Inventory & Filing (how to audit)¶
File-naming convention: YYYY-MM-DD_platform_or_vendor_item_amount_[orderid].pdf
Minimum fields per record: item_id · description · amount (USD) · sale_date · platform/vendor · buyer (if available) · source_doc_id · notes

3) Itemized Sale Log (representative extract; full detail in evidence packet)¶
All interest is computed centrally in Tab 002. Dollar amounts shown are principal bases only; see §1 note regarding Reverb documentation ("buyer-paid totals") versus payout-net.
A) Reverb — API Discrete Components (2019-2020)¶
| item_id | Description | Platform | Proceeds | Sale Date | source_doc_id | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FORCED-LIQ-A01 | API 2520 Op Amp — Order #7040094 | Reverb | $70.23 | 2019-11-25 | Reverb_API_Sales_PostFlood_19-20.pdf | First post-flood sale (42 days after 2019-10-13 flood). |
| … | (16 additional API/discrete items) | Reverb | — | 2019-12 → 2020-10 | Reverb_API_Sales_PostFlood_19-20.pdf | Batch in evidence worksheet. |
| Subtotal A | 18 items (API/discrete) | $1,357.45 | 2019-11 → 2020-10 | Sum matches evidence packet. |
Worked example for FORCED-LIQ-A01 appears in Blue Tab 002 §5.5 (line-item interest verification).
B) Major Instruments & Amplifiers — 2023 (5 documented sales; corrected)¶
| item_id | Description | Platform | Documented Transaction Total | Sale Date | source_doc_id | Buyer / Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FORCED-LIQ-B01 | Gibson Les Paul Classic 1995 — Ebony | Reverb | $2,145.00 | 2023-07-02 | Order #17898653 | Buyer: Jeremiah Chancey (Chillicothe, OH). |
| FORCED-LIQ-B02 | Marshall JCM 900 Model 2500 50W Head | Reverb | $946.96 (buyer-paid total incl. fees) | 2023-08-08 | Order #18173486 | Buyer: Paul Roy (Wonder Lake, IL). |
| FORCED-LIQ-B03 | Gibson ES-125 1948 — Sunburst (VINTAGE) | Reverb | $2,028.07 (buyer-paid total incl. fees) | 2023-08-08 | Order #18172501 | Buyer: Federico Petrozzino (Los Angeles, CA). |
| FORCED-LIQ-B04 | Marshall JCM 900 Model 2500 50W Head (1990s) | Private (non-Reverb) | $900.00 | 2023 (bill of sale) | NonReverb_BOS_Marshall_1990s.pdf | Bill of sale on file. |
| FORCED-LIQ-B05 | Marshall JMP Master Model Mk2 50W — 1979 (serviced) | Private (non-Reverb) | $2,800.00 | June 2023 | NonReverb_BOS_Marshall_1979.pdf | Serviced; bill of sale on file. |
| Subtotal B = $8,820.03 | 2023-06 → 2023-08 | Sum = $2,145 + 946.96 + 2,028.07 + 900 + 2,800. |
Consistency note (Reverb entries): The original v1.0 evidence packet recorded buyer-paid totals ("with fees") for Orders #18173486 and #18172501, and $2,145.00 for #17898653. We mirror those exact documented totals here so the bundle sum equals the archived $8,820.03. If counsel prefers payout-net for interest purposes, input those in Tab 002 (date anchors unchanged).
C) Baldwin SF-10 Grand — Equity Extinguishment (2023)¶
| item_id | Description | Basis Type | Principal | Event Date | source_doc_id | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FORCED-LIQ-C01 | Baldwin SF-10 Grand Piano | Equity Loss | $7,800.00 | 2023-Q3 | Baldwin_SF10_Payoff_2023.pdf | Market ≈ $20,000; lien ≈ $12,200; owner equity wiped at payoff/transfer. |
D) Custom Acoustic Treatments — Distress Sale (2023)¶
| item_id | Description | Basis Type | Cost Basis | Sale Proceeds | Net Loss | Sale Date | source_doc_id | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FORCED-LIQ-D01 | Custom Acoustic Treatments (15 units) | Net Loss | $11,811.80 | $7,000.00 | $4,811.80 | 2023-10-05 | AcousticTreatments_Sale_Oct2023.pdf | Materials cost documented in Excel; custom fabricated for G21 studio. |
Transaction Details (D): Materials = $11,811.80 (itemized Excel). Sold for $7,000 cash on 2023-10-05; cash given directly to Freeman Street landlord (receipt on file). ~40.7% loss on materials alone (labor paid in cash, amount unknown; shop use not charged). Buyer affidavit/photos available in Phase 3. Conservative basis = materials only.
4) ROUTING — All Math Lives in Blue Tab 002¶
Compute everything in Blue Tab 002 — G21 Base Damages — Mathematical Verification (REPL Appendix)
- A/B (sales): Enter as principal = documented transaction total with sale date anchor.
- C (equity-loss): Enter owner equity lost with event date anchor.
- D (net loss): Enter $4,811.80 (cost basis − proceeds) with 2023-10-05 anchor.
- Interest: 9% simple (CPLR 5001–5004).
- Rounding: Item at cents; category round at final output only (Tab 002 §4.5).
5) Legal Foundation (brief; counsel to confirm controlling law)¶
What this proves: For forced liquidation / conversion / distress sales of personal property, New York permits recovery measured by fair market value (or realized proceeds/equity at time/place of loss) plus prejudgment interest.
Primary Authority (NY):
- CPLR 5001–5004 — 9% simple prejudgment/postjudgment interest framework.
- PJI 2:311 — Damage to Personal Property (repairable/not-repairable) — market-value measures.
Key Cases (illustrative):
- Sporn v. MCA Records, Inc., 58 N.Y.2d 482 (1983) — Conversion damages = FMV at time/place of conversion + interest.
- I.C.C. Metals, Inc. v. Mun. Waste Conversion, 5 N.Y.3d 426 (2005) — Confirms FMV rule; interest to make plaintiff whole.
- Hartshorn v. Chaddock, 135 N.Y. 116 (1892) — Long-standing measure: value at loss + interest.
Doctrinal Application:
- Sales (A/B): Use documented transaction totals (or payout-net, at counsel's election) as best evidence of realized value under duress.
- Equity loss (C): Use owner equity extinguished.
- Net loss (D): Use cost basis − proceeds (conservative: materials only).
- Mitigation: Records reflect compelled sales; no multipliers or premiums claimed (Blue posture).
6) Guardrails & Cross-Category De-Duplication¶
- No double recovery with Tab 101.1 (Recording Studio / MI / CE). Items sold here are not claimed as retained personal property.
- Custom Acoustic Treatments were removed from 101.1 acoustic-treatment totals and are tracked here solely as a distress-sale net loss.
- Credit Impairment (Tab 105): Any financing/score impacts are addressed there (cross-ref only; do not duplicate dollars).
- Red/White separation: No opportunity-loss or strategic narratives; strict evidence-only bases.
