Fred (and 313): I just went through a similar thing with my insurance rep. Initially they were able to give me a "bulk guess-ta-mate" rate..i.e. i told them how much i thought my collection was worth.. i valued every record i had at 5 bucks a pop... meaning i put a value of 20K. then i added 5K for "rarity" selections... to put the total value at 25K. they were comfortable with this until their higher ups made them look into it...
now it gets nasty... i am technicallyy still covered for 25K worth of records..(acutally i pay for 35K so that over the next year..as my collection grows...i will still be covered...cost: extra 10 bucks a year). so their higher ups are forcing me to create a database of ALL of my records. including estimated cost. for now.. they took pictures of my studio and my crates/shelves/boxes/piles but i have 4 months to create the database for them. (and it will be online soon too!..) other people ive spoken to have different tales of insurance reps... some require the database upfront...some dont require it at all... mine would not have required it..except 1/2 my policy is based on the vinyl collection...*shrug* good luck. these people suck. -mike > Does anybody know the value of an original pressing of "Techno!
