How can I pay for Insurance Salesman Bad Stuff if my Items aren't worth enough?

If you are hit by the Bad Stuff from Insurance Salesman and you can't make 1,000 gold pieces, it says you lose all of have. Does that only include items of value (or no value) or also other Treasure cards? What about your Door cards?

You lose all the Items you have in play. Item cards in your hand are not Items yet, and non-Treasure Item cards and Door cards don't have a gold piece value. "No Value" is a gold piece value, so those cards are Items and are lost if you don't have enough. The point is that you can't argue that if you only have 900 gold pieces of Items in play, that you aren't affected by the Bad Stuff.

Not even those items in your hand - that is interesting...

Cards in your hand cannot be touched by Bad Stuff or Curses unless the Bad Stuff or Curse explicitly says so.

That's a good point...
