I saw one not too long ago on eBay that went for about $600; needed 
work, though.  As far as declared value - if it was sold, then you have 
the actual cash value already - the canceled check (from the buyer); or 
other documentary evidence of the funds that exchanged hands for the 
board. 

UPS rarely looses stuff, though... I had one damaged-in-transit from 
them, they paid based on sell price, no questions asked.  Now FedEx, 
OTOH... good luck!

I suspect either the shipping label came off (which is why they USED to 
tell you to be sure and include a duplicate INSIDE the box - at least 
the destination OR the originator's address), or someone misread the zip 
code.  It may yet turn up...

You might get some help from eBay; lots of Yard consoles have passed 
through their servers (virtually speaking).  I don't think there are any 
listed right now....

Closest thing currently listed is a Collins remote DJ setup with two 
turntables (Gads!  We had one back at the Magic Wagic - WAJC - back in 
1970.); which has an opening bid set at $1195...

But if you can show actual cash value (as in, that's what the guy paid 
for it, dummy, so that's what it's worth!), UPS should be golden
