I actually spoke with my insureance agent about this very subject about two
months ago. She told me that my collection is covered under my home owners
policy but I would be wise to document what I have. Pictures would be good
as well as anything that might show what the current market value of a set
is. I asked her if an eBay listing would be sufficient and she said yes.
So in the unfortunate event that one needs to make a claim for your LEGO
collection, eBay and it's high prices might prove extremely useful.
At the time I made this inquiry there was small group of us here in NC who
were thinking of displaying a small layout at a train show. I inquired
about whether my insureance covered this type of event as it was my property
but outside my home. My agent told me that since it was purely for display
purposes and not to sell items (like a flea market), then it would be
covered.

PS: My insurance company is State Farm and I have nothing but good things
to say about them. Two years ago we had a washing machine hose burst which
resulted in about $40K worth of damage to my house. The whole claim was
handled very cleanly and to our satisfaction.
