Insurance

[Aaron]

Since my flat mate had a small chip pan fire yesterday, i've decided that it might be a good idea if i insure my DJ equipment and records.

 

Does anyone know of any good insurance companies that do this?

Ok Will do!

Just out of interest, how were you thinking of valuing your vinyl ?

[Aaron]

good question! how does everyone else do it?

[tommy]

With us, you'd need a written valuation, which would be pretty hard to get. Maybe ask someone like Direct Line or Norwich Union how to do it.

 

I wonder if the big DJs have insurance on all their records.

[Aaron]

Just had a look at MusicGuard and they can insure for the total loss of all records and CDs if they are trashed or stolen. I just have to supply a full catalogue listing

 

I'm sure Big Name DJ's must insure their stuff, if they lost their tunes then they loose their life

Read the small-print mate. As far as I can make out, MusicGuard don't give you any more cover than a standard home-contents insurer, which you'll have anyway if you're sensible!

 

"Total loss" means just that - you're not covered if only part of your collection is stolen, e.g. if you take a subset of your collection to a gig and somebody half-inches your record box.

Hmmm thats a bit of a C*nt innit. I got contents insurance, but my gear isnt on the inventory there yet... i'll keep putting feelers out, there must be something out there thats worthwhile taking up...

i took up contents insurence to protect my records & decks.

only about £15 a month if i remember rightly

[Aaron]

Yeah, have had quite a few people tell me to do Contents on this, but to specifically record each item and its value, so reckon thats the way forward.

 

Cheers for your help people
