Dave, talk to your insurance man, without giving him all these details,
just that you have not saved receipts for your equipment over the years.
Most likely they will accept a written valuation from a local camera
store/dealer as verification of the values. I once had to do this.

Zuikoholism leads to the amassing of some pretty nice equipment. I
got to
cataloguing my Oly stuff and my Rollei stuff and it adds up to quite an
investment. So, the question - what are the list members doing to
insure
their cameras, etc. I know one can get a Camera Floater attached to
their
Homeowner's Policy. Or, I guess a separate policy just for the
equipment.
But how do you document it's value? Some I got on eBay, some I traded
for
and some I was given as gifts.
An example is not an Oly item, but a Rolleiflex 2.8E I have. My out of
pocket expense to acquire the camera was $75.00 and several rounds of
barter.
How do I document that? 2.8Es in this condition go on eBay for
$700+. I
have several Oly items that I acquired with the same ultimate spread
between
my out-of-pocket expense and the item's value. I don't have a paper
trail
for these things as like most of us the thing sort of grew in the
night.
Knowing what I know now I should have kept records from the beginning. I
didn't. Now what?
What are members of the list doing about insurance?
