Just to add a note on the home insurance. I believe that the the record collection would fall under the category "valuables". My partners farther is an insurance insurance broker, getting the records covered shouldn't be a problem. The problem would be trying to proove the value. More insurance underwriters need to start collecting vinyl. I keep all my paypal emails in a separate file, so that if I loose everything in a fire, I have some proof of all my purchases. That, and the collector'sfrenzy and popsike databases should be enough proof for the insurance company. I'd like to know what your partner's dad thinks about that though... Can't you just use paypal history? Directly from your paypal account?

That's a good point, maybe that's sufficient. But I don't know how far the history thing will be accessible for, haven't checked. I think with my bank account it's 5 years or so? And does paypal state that it was an ebay item somewhere in the description? Not sure...
One advantage I can think of now is that with my method, I can forward the paypal emails to an insurance dude so that he has proof, with paypal you can't (unless you cut+paste). But then again, you could print all the transactions too.

Well you could always direct the insurance company to some of the price graphs Nico has made for this board lol.

i worked as an insurance salesman. so if ever something happens and they wont pay for what they teached me, i will run amok. you know, you can't insure the personal value of a record. so i raised the value of everything with the idea that i can get them back asap.

i don't know how many records i have. i would have to guess and say something like 1000 LPs and 700 seveninches.
ive been wanting to make a full list of my records for years but i just can't be bothered, right now i use a small one that i use for trades, but a whole list would be more handy.. i just don't know where to start and what to list and what not. i mean, nobody that i trade with cares about my new wave, jazz or classical records.
edit:
yeah i was talking to my insurance man the other day and i should start to document stuff. i always make pictures of my more expensive purchases but i guess i need to make some more to have proof on the quantity of the collection.
