In Topic: Valuation of collections / insurance

Sat May 5, 2012 1:58 PM

Mine is covered in renters' insurance. I put a value of 10K on it, which is in the ballpark. At various times I have probably had more than that sitting around but now that I am selling a lot it might be a bit less. Everything is photographed and databased.

It's really hard to put a value on a hard-won collection--some of the stuff is priceless to me!

-board games, especially Avalon Hill bookshelf games (several have come from AA members!)
-books of all sorts, paperback, hardcover, mostly authors that I like.
-vintage audio equipment

In Topic: Building a secret gaming room...

Fri Apr 27, 2012 9:01 AM

My wife does the same thing (gives tours of my "office") and some of her friends still talk about how awesome the game room is (was). I am having to repurpose my game room for the usual thing that eventually happens to lots of married gamers.

If I had a little "coal room" or something I would totally do the same thing. If we ever buy a house I am totally getting one of those little shed things.

I probably wouldn't keep the secret from my wife, but I think the idea of a hidden room is just awesome. My wife's always told me that she wants a room she can hide all my video games and tv's in so we can hide them all from guests (she thinks they're messy and has a point). She halfway got her wish when I got my man-cave, but wouldn't you know, when company visits, she runs tours of that now.

Speaking as a married guy, let me just ask where you are planning to tell her you are going when you escape to this secret hideaway? "Friend's house?" "Long bike ride?" "Off to party with hookers and blow?"

Cause trust me, it's not the room itself that will get you caught - it's the lying about where you're actually going all those hours when she doesn't see you and expects you to be doing stuff with her. Unless your wife never expects that you will do stuff together, in which case I suppose you're kind lucky in some ways or just have a different kind of marriage than the one I do... guess they are all different really!

Just saying, I can barely time find to sneak away to the room my wife knows all about...

If you're talking about hiding it in the sense that it has a secret bookcase door or something like that I say very cool! I would love to have something along those lines...
