Insurance of your collection...

Ok, what do people do about insurance of their computer collections. I
guess mine is covered on the plain old house contents insurance, but
the more I think about it the more I worry about a potential claim for
over 60 old (and I guess in the minds of insurers, obsolete) computers.

I guess insurers will want a current market value, but what is current
market value for old computers? As far as I am concerned there isn't
a market value and each computer is only worth as much as the person
selling it wants for it, or what the purchaser is willing to pay.

I have recorded the prices I have payed for most of the things I have
in my collection, but some of the rarest and most valuable to me I got
given for free. Other items I have payed a lot of money for, probably
too much sometimes when I realy want the item. In no case have I got a
reciept for a purchase.

Thoughts please.
