There's been a couple of people mentioning this, but no one has specifically asked the question yet: what are some good ways of determining the value of your LEGO collection, for insurance purposes or otherwise. It seems to me that even a list (...) (24 years ago, 6-Feb-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

For those who have such collections which they are looking to sell much of, one way to deal with it could be to occasionally invite folks over to browse the collection and make bids on things their interested in.
