If you sell enough on the web, you can self insure (take an occasional hit). But if you just rarely sell on the web, better off with insurance. Note, with bikes in particular, the shippers are all known for rejecting just about any claim due to poor packing. So the insurance is worth less than what you would think.
Myself, I am in the self insured boat.
