Question
The owner of a small jewelry store personally bought its inventory and set prices. After a burglary, she testifies that the stolen pieces were worth about $52,000 based on her records and her own pricing decisions. The defendant objects that she is not an appraiser. What is the best ruling?
Exclude the opinion because owners may never testify about value.
Admit the opinion if it is based on her particularized knowledge as owner and is helpful.
Admit the opinion only if she applies a certified appraisal methodology.
Exclude the opinion because damages are always ultimate issues.
