I was going to post this in the Coaches Lounge, but I think it's applicable to anyone who invests in equipment and training materials for skating.
A friend came over the other day and noticed how many DVDs and books I have on figure skating. He remarked that it must get expensive, so I laughed and said "That's nothing - you should see what my skates cost." He was stunned to find that I wear $1,000 worth of leather and steel and I have two more pairs my skating footlocker of horrors.
He made a great suggestion: take an inventory of your skating libraries and equipment. Create digital photos of the items, scan/save purchase receipts, and make a list. Keep all of that in a safe place because if (God forbid) you have a disaster, you'll need that information for the insurance company.
If you have really valuable items, you should make sure your insurance policy covers them properly. A pair of used skates are worth maybe $10, but (I'm making this up) a pair of autographed Dorothy Hamill skates worn by the lady herself would be worth far more. Insurance may/may not recognize that value.
No, he's not an insurance agent, just a guy who likes to collect things of value.
