yes-ish -- you'll want to check the renter's policy to see how much they cover and what that coverage actually means. Also it helps to have very detailed lists of what's there to be covered.

This ^. It’s probably covered under personal contents, which is a big pool that also covers your clothes, your furniture, your laptop, your can opener, that sort of stuff. There’s a hard cap on that amount you can see on your dec page, and you’d be surprised how fast it disappears when you’re looking at a fire or flood loss. If you only have a couple hundred records you’re probably fine. It’s good to keep an eye on it though and make sure you adjust that amount up if you need to. It’s a pennies on the dollar premium adjustment.

Yup I specifically asked about it, and raised my policy, but it's all lumped in with personal belongings.

Collection size AND system too for some people. In some homes with a solid system and big collection, an audio space might get over looked because you don't spend it all at once, but it can be the most expensive space in the house all together.

Completely valid. If your HO policy has a hard cap of say, $60k personal contents (which isn’t uncommon for a small house), even if you’ve got $3k tied up in just a middle-of-the-road system you start eating up that coverage fast. Do some back of the napkin math on cost of your computer + tv + stereo + appliances + furniture and that number starts getting whittled away really quickly before you ever even get to the records.

Sorry for all the quotes, it was the easiest way to flag everyone on my phone.
I went ahead and started a new thread just for this convo. Let's get this thread back on track. It was more fun before we got all serious, lol.

Should you insure your collection and system?
We've been having a discussion on another thread about if or when it makes sense to insure your system and collection. We'd love to hear from people who are considering policies, and what others who are already covered. How is your policy structured? Separate, or rolled into your insure? At...

This one is crazy. I've had it my wantlist since a 1/2 off sale at Nonesuch crashed the site a few years back and I could have snagged it for $20. A copy popped back up for sale at Plaidroom yesterday and I managed to grab it for $40. Does anybody knoe if this is getting a repress or are copies just popping up random places?

Even just the regular soundtrack has gone crazy. Nonesuch had it for sale for $5 at one point for part of a movie promotion. It's one I always sat on because I figured I would pick it up eventually since it was always cheap and on sale.Various - Another Day, Another Time: Celebrating The Music Of "Inside Llewyn Davis"

I have the Soundtrack too and it’s crazy that one is cracking $100 as well. The pressing and mastering is superb though.

Things are turning a bit crazy on Discogs atm. This was down under $10 at some point. And was lingering in the VMP store for years

Discogs is nuts at the moment. I remember back in 2010 when nobody knew what it was. I think record collecting has went crazy since the start of the pandemic to be honest. Having to overpay for everything these days.

Nuts! I grabbed this for $15 and it’s still sealed.

Me too. Got it on a VMP sale at some point. I have listened to it quite a lot though. It's a great album!

For sure. I've had a real re-calibration of historic prices vs. what things will actually go for now. I've also noticed that sellers have gathered that being the only person to list something is giving them carte blanche to put up crazy prices. Like the Grandaddy listings are all 15 bucks higher than the high. The Bleachers RSD Stuff (Unplugged, Terrible Thrills Vol 2) are even more insane. Vol. 2 went from "nice potential gift for the significant other" to "more than my car payment" right quick in terms of for-sale prices.
Edit: I also think music lovers have historically balanced their music budgets between live shows, CDs, digital music, etc. With no live shows, the utility of CDs crashing (less driving, fewer optical drives), limited merch options (linked to no live shows), and so much more time at home (with sound systems), suddenly vinyl is quite appealing as a way of showing fandom. It's certainly the best looking of the media (big covers, colorways, high quality liner notes, etc.). If I were to guess, I think we'll see this recede a bit if we get back to having live concerts as people decide to spend $60 to hear two hours of live music rather than get two new records.

Wut?!
Was doing some updates in my discogs this morning and this one made me literally blurt out "what in the actual fuck!". 
I don't even remember buying it but apparently I paid $11.16 in 2017 on an eBay purchase. Someone trying to get $229 now.

Here's a weird one for you from the comedy arena. Old Billy Redface aka Bill Burr.
www.discogs.com
I snagged this one for my GF for under $20 last year and there was some $8 used copy that, in retrospect, I should've picked up. Last two Ebay sales were $71 and $148. Considering how rarely comedy vinyl seems to have much of any value, this is weird.
John Mulaney is also kind of silly but to be honest his stuff has kind of been a pain to find for a while.

Wow now, this was unexpected. Lianne La Havas was just announced as a headliner for a gig I should be going to in September. Decided to dig out a couple of her records and couldnt believe how much this is going for now.
A £48 average with 2 copies available starting at £199. I paid £10.17 for my copy back in 2017.

I just checked my local store here in Sweden and both Alive 1 and 2 (and the rest as well exept for Discovery) are in stock at retail price. Not the box, naturally, but the standalone issues are also going quite nuts at the moment on Discogs. I think this bubble will burst quite soon.
