: Yikes! WFFs in Tornado Alley! (What kind of
: photo
: would Brenda make for that, I wonder?)
:
: Thank you, Mary O. Did you have a heart attack
: when you added up the value? I did. I received
: my WFF gifts for every occasion and played with
: them happily, never giving it much thought. They
: do add up, don't they?
:
: Does anyone have a contact for an independent
: collectibles insurer that they are happy with?

: We just insured ours two months ago. I have
: almost 250 and my husband said "No
: More" until I got these covered. We live in
: tornado alley. We have all of our insurance with
: State Farm, so we just added these on to the
: homeowners policy. They used another agency which
: specializes in collectibles so it may be slightly
: cheaper to find an insurance company that is
: independent, I don't know, we just wanted
: everything together. I don't really know how it
: works. We created a spread sheet on the
: computer. I just put in the name and number of
: each WFF and how much it cost to buy based on the
: most recent catalog I could find the price listed
: in. I have catalogs going back to 1988. If it
: wasn't in a catalog, I took the price off of the
: Master List, here. It took about a week to do all
: of this, but I thouroghly enjoyed doing it. When
: I called, our insurance company said to
: photograph the entire line ( I assume in groups,
: not individually) but then they said, no that was
: not necessary, to just bring in the spread
: sheets. I also took in an extra catolog and they
: put that in the file. I gave them the adress of
: this site, too, so they would have access to the
: Master List if necessary. I explained that some
: were gifts and many were bought on Ebay, so I did
: not have receipts. Based on $25,000 replacement
: value, knowing this was an estimated amount, we
: are charged $16.00 a month. Our homeowners policy
: would only cover up to $2500 of this.
:
: Hope this helps.

: Let me just say I know the insurance question
: gets
: asked over and over and people kindly answer over
: and over. I admit it. I didn't pay attention.
:
: Now we've just finished taking inventory and
: photos of my mice and ...holy cow!...I think I
: should insure them. Our homeowner's insurance
: company wants us to get an appraisal. How do you
: get an appraisal on retired pieces?
:
: So, here I am...beggin' ya...please post if you
: have insured your WFF and feel satisfied with
: your insurer. I will write it all down this
: time.
:
: In fact, I'll save it and re-post it when the
: next person asks!
:
: Thanks in advance.
