FedEx's rates have insurance built in. If you put a $100k declared value on the package, assuming they'll even accept it, the shipping charge will be prohibitive. They recently really came through on a claim I filed for their heavily damaging a tube amp I shipped. I put the eBay final auction price as the declared value. When the claim got started, it was pretty easy for me to just print out the eBay auction ending page and a few others like it to prove the value. They paid me promptly. I don't think a grossly inflated declared value would end well for the shipper.
