Ethical question: Do you think it is really honest to get a new dollhouse
and sell it? Personally, I don't see the problem with it. Before the fire,
you were free to sell the dollhouse. I don't see why you wouldn't be now.
Just a question.

I see no ethical question or quandary here. She is not defrauding the
insurance company in any way. They've offered her two choices --- take $175
in cash now, or they'll pay for a replacement dollhouse, which could cost
upward of $500-700 (if I remember the post correctly). Once she makes her
choice and the insurance company has paid her, they are done and out of the
picture, and she can do whatever she wants with the money or doll house. If
she chose the $175, she would not be obligated to spend that money on
another doll house, even though that is what they are reimbursing her for.

I think getting the replacement dollhouse and then selling it for more money
than the insurance company was willing to pay is a good solution, although
I'm still confused why they are willing to spend $500 to replace the
dollhouse, but only $175 in cash. They're still out the money, no?

Anyway, good luck!
