She told me, anything I want included in the value of my home, I need to have appraised. Who in the funk is going to appraise video games at their actual value? Or movies? Or musical equipment? Or custom build items for that matter? You honestly can't... --- End quote --- I've heard this as well. We currently have a personal articles policy on my wife's engagement ring, but that is very easy to appraise. I don't know who would appraise a video game collection. There was a long discussion on Nintendo Age a while back about whether insurance on a video game collection was worth it or not. In my opinion, it isn't. Like I said, all of the things I listed that help to protect my collection are really there to protect my family. At the end of the day as long as they are safe, that's all that matters. I have enough insurance to keep me from becoming homeless in case of disaster and enough to protect me in case of liability, but otherwise, anything more is just a waste. Even our personal articles policy is a waste. I've considered dropping it. My biggest concern was my wife loosing the ring, but she has had it long enough that the fear of that is gone now. Anyone can be burglarized at any time. However, if you live in an area where you are likely to be robbed, I would save your money and focus more on finding a way to move to a better place then spending more on insurance. --- End quote --- The place I'm moving to is in a pretty safe neighborhood, it's also tucked away in a culdesac, so I think that helps. Maybe. --- End quote --- Actually, there tend to be higher instances of burglaries in those types of areas simply because there are less people around to potentially see a burglar. Less armed robbery, more houses broken in to :-\ There are appraisal services, but they ain't cheap. --- End quote --- Guess it's a good thing I'm a hermit and never leave my house lol... All the more reason to create a safe space for my family. |
