[QUOTE="santoshlv426, post: 1187364, member: 1941"] You can't insure CD's and collectables e.g. model cars unless you just specify and acceptble value that you want to be paid i the event of loss. Even if they did insure your CD's, how will you get them back - CD's are no longer made. It's the same with any collectable - they are irrepacable. The best you can hope for is get what you paid for them. Hi Fi's are not cars - and they don't "depreciate'. Insurer's know this. It's pretty cut and dry on this point. Say a Rotel 1520 you bought 10 years ago cost you R10K. today the current model equivalent is R20K. Insurance will pay you R20K You 10 year old Corolla - they'll pay you the current "book" value - not that of a current Corolla. [/QUOTE]
