Cheers Phil link Sure John Manship used to provide the service. Insurance companies usually only accept the valuation from a reputable dealer if it is quite valuable. Everything has to be logged too.

October 2, 200420 yr Sure I read on another topic (on forum), that someones insurers wouldn't pay out, because the records weren't photographed! I could've misred it tho'.
October 5, 200420 yr Sure I read on another topic (on forum), that someones insurers wouldn't pay out, because the records weren't photographed! I could've misred it tho'. link I looked into this a while ago and to properly insure a collection, the cost was totally prohibitive. Even with a valuation from someone such as JM, all records insured had to be individually photographed or scanned, and anything over a certain value (can't remember now but may have been as around the £250 mark) had to have an individual valuation. Just the same as having an expensive piece of jewellry I guess. I got round this for a while by keeping my most valuable sounds in a box in the safe (we had a pub so a safe was part of the set up) and the total contents were insured for a specific amount. This wasn't all that expensive and wouldn't have mattered if it was a record, a watch or cash. Never had to claim though so I dont know what the upshot would have been. Sorry its not that helpful, but it's one way round the problem (if you have a safe that is !)
October 5, 200420 yr Unfortunatley wolves, even when hungry make un-ideal guard dogs and you'd be as likley a victim when you returned to your box...
October 5, 200420 yr Simply paint your record box red and place it on top of a pole thereby disguising it as a dog (or wolf) poo bin. No self respecting crim would place their hands in there.

October 7, 200420 yr I've posted on this before, actually. You can get insurance which is reasonably priced. Anyone interested PM me. cheers Dan

Anyone interested PM me. cheers Dan link had a dig and here's clip of what Dan posted earlier I'm happy to put people in touch with a specialist insurance company I use if anyone is interested. I wouldn't consider myself a major collector by any means but it's still been worth doing for me from both burglary and fire points-of-view (imagine the dilemma...the house is on fire and it's your Fascinators or your missus...ummm...errr.....sorry luv.) Just gives you (and your wife) peace of mind.
