čeho is the genitive form of co. Vážit si is a verb that takes a genitive object, hence "vážit si čeho/koho".

"Není čeho si vážit." Why isn't "si" in the second position, as in this previous example: "Není se čeho bát" = "There is nothing to fear"?
And also why isn't "ničeho" required to maintain the double negative in both of DL's given sentences?
You have must consider "čeho si vážit" separately. You can't just put "ničeho" in there, it does not belong there.
You can have "ničeho si nevážit" "to respect nothing" "not to respect anything" if you want a double negative.
Se has to be on the second "place" in a sentence. But this rule does not apply to si. About "ničeho" I have the same question.
It does apply to si. It is in the second position of the "čeho si vážit" infinitive phrase.

what is the difference between vazit and respektovat?
vážit si and respektovat have pretty much the same meaning, with some exceptions. vážit= to weigh

Could this sentence translate : There's nothing to estimate/There's nothing to value. I imagine the visit of a notary (in order to prepare a certified/notarial act). Just to catch the use of "si vážit".
