I'm having some problems insuring my games and consoles because they require receipts for everything which is quite impossible for me. Anyone had insured their games? Any recommendation for which insurer to go for?

before I comment,

May I ask if such services has been done overseas?

Some foreign forummers had their games insured, from US, UK and Canada.

Alright.

I'm not sure what insurance company offers such a service in Malaysia, but no harm asking AIG or AIA for help on this matter. Sadly hq is in KL. how?

i know we can insure all our belongings in the house in case of fire or theft though

That's the one I was looking at, but no, cannot be done

I did ask about fire/theft insurance before with HLB. like gundam said, all require receipts.

Also I don't think the insurance company valuer knows how to value game, especially the games gundam have.

Agreed on valuation. Wait, gundam, wouldn't you know about that?

The problem is it has to be valued by them/3rd party.. where to find someone who actually knows?

gundam shows off his supremacy by announcing he has bazillion games.

On a more serious note, I think you need to contact another auditor from another country to do such a thing. And then ask him to engage. But remember, the insurance will cost a bomb (due to exclusitivity of the service).

I already highlighted the word IF

I'm no pilot

I didn't say the pilot part at all.

put all your game in Safe deposit box at bank.
There should have some value insurance for the service you use.

Cannot even fit in a CD game in the deposit box

you're gonna need a big one. that's for sure.

But yeah, renting safety deposit boxes is another way I believe that you can use to insure the games. Contact Bank Simpanan Nasional if its in Sabah.

can't imagine have to go to bank to retrieve a game to play...

my baby destroyed my NSMB wii. how i wish i have insured it. careless la me.

I'm just paranoid about fire/theft

the most important was our life , not those gaming thing etc.

hope u dont insured ur car .. wait .. then u cant use car ..

people mentality is different.. their have their own interest and importance

what i trying to say was , what ever happen around us , the top priority > our life... im not telling that cant insured anything that we wish for...up to you , what you feel the most important thing , insured them...no probs with it rite..

Tell me that when you stop selling games and sell life insurance instead

hope you dont insure anything except your life even your the best online gameshop, oh wait you dont have shop, just an e-store with limited stock .

so err..those games / console u haven't sold...they're not insured?

@gundam,
hv u ask those game shops how are they insuring their games? or perhaps it's in a different category?

Business insurance are quite easy since they have receipts/invoices etc. But personal gaming stuff are much harder

Surely you don't keep some receipts for some of the games?

When I get stuff from ebay, they always issue receipt/invoice. At least I can always print out the Paypal receipt/invoice.

I believe Play-Asia always print out receipt/invoice for every item we buy from them.

Anyway, if I were to insure my games, I'd insure the more expensive ones.

Oh, forgot bro gundam bought Shinrei Jusatsuhi Taromaru....

car price >rm20k at least
while a usual PS3 game costs no more than RM200??

gundam's collection >20k

i dunno you enough money or not.
When I watch movie, I saw some ppl got their own safety box, not should be safety ROOM in their house. It protect against fire & thief, even Oxidation.
If not enough money, I suggest to choose few games that most important to you & put it in bank safety box.

if put in safe deposit box, gundam cannot display his collection at home

no syok

human, wanna show off but scared the thief.
----------------------------------------------------
Gundam,
BTW, I notice there will be Video Game Appraiser to set the value of you video games.
just hire them to estimate the value of your asset. his report should enough for you to buy the insurance for it.
Hope can help you.

Sikit sikit lama menjadi bukit

No one is going to insure a pack of cigarette, but imagine a cigarette store with hundred of thousands packs of cigarettes, the value would be much different. And PS3 games isn't really a good example anyway, they are quite cheap
