schw84 Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 I finally got round to taking pictures of all my models over the weekend and creating a database so i can start to think about insuring them all, after counting up i have 254 Boxed models ranging through britains, siku UH and conversions just wondered how many is too many??? im finding it hard to think what i dont want in my collection its just i have no more room. ps does anyone want to do a pricing scheme so that i can say to the insurers that its been done by some people other than myself, hence i propose the new topic of prices for models as this would help us as we all come to insure them??? any suggestions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Andy On insurance I know some house contents insurance policies cover " valuables " up to ? 6,000 at no extra cost on the premium. Well at least that's what I was told by Norwich Union direct. The only problem about insurance is you never really know how good the company is until you have to claim and no-one want's that.

schw84 Posted February 21, 2007 Author Share Posted February 21, 2007 yer but a collection of items is classed as one item and 6K might just cover my collection but it would be close Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Agreed. I think people need to check out individually with there respective insurance companies to see what cover is included in a house contents policy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the other green Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Be sure to check with your insurer. I figured that the dollar amount for collections or vauables was fine for my models until we realised that there would be nothing left in that amount for Mrs TOG's crystal and our small art collection not to mention her die-cast cars. Make sure the amount covers the collections of everyone in the house Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
