thetruthaboutheaven21 Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share Posted August 18, 2014 This. My renter's insurance costs like $200 per year and I'm covered for like...$50,000 or something stupid. I dont think she has renters or home insurance. Just fire insurance and they dont cover all the losses at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

museummouth Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I hate to be THAT guy but trying to get your records back immediately should not be a priority in a situation like this. TheGhostOfRandySavage, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and Duff 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarzioo_ Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I hate to be THAT guy but trying to get your records back immediately should not be a priority in a situation like this. I agree. I know it sucks that they were destroyed and I hope she gets them all replaced but let us know about clothing donations and everyday living things just so she can have the basics covered first. I'm sure she will be able to get all her records replaced though. Hopefully at a decent price Duff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I really don't want to come off like a dick, I just want to clarify exactly what this money is going toward...is it legitimately only for records?

Is she furnishing her new residence...? records, neccessities/toiletries, i believe she needs a new bed/comfortor as well. I made the campaign the second i heard it happened and i know she lost literally everything besides a lone beanie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
castaway Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Okay, so she just tried to buy a record from me on eBay. Unfortunately she tried to message me a different address than the "confirmed" one that she checked out with. Any experienced seller knows you get no seller protection unless you ship it to the confirmed address. I messaged her back and told her I would have to cancel the transaction and she would have to change her confirmed address before repurchasing. She replied with "my old house burned down". That's when I remembered this thread so it's good to see the story checks out, and I feel bad about canceling the transaction now. But you might want to let her know that's a common scamming trick and that she should update her addresses on eBay and PayPal. Just a heads up!

Tiltar Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 She's already buying records back (on ebay no less) after this sob story of a thread of how she lost everything? Sounds like she's doing fine if she's already back to collecting. Duff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

museummouth Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 It does seem very "sob story." I'm not doubting that it happened, I'm just very confused as to why out of all the things you would have to replace after "losing everything except a beanie" records would find their way to the top of the list. Why would she not be accepting clothing donations or other items except money or records? Duff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock N Roll Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Yeah if I lost literally everything I own, records wouldn't be towards the top of my list of priorities. This thread is weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 For sure. I feel like it's teetering on the edge of being a shitstorm. Here's a little fodder: Starts thread asking strangers to contribute money.

Guest Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Jimmy got renters insurance and I am covered through his policy even though we're not married. It's nice to have that security especially with all the records in our house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Regardless I don't like people asking for money for this type of stuff, vet bills, things like that. This stuff happens every day, yes it is tragic, but people act like adults and handle it themselves. The last thing I would do is go online asking for money. It just rubs me the wrong way.

somethingvinyl Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 "This post is hidden because you have chosen to ignore posts by thatvinylguy. View it anyway?"I don't remember why I blocked this guy on VC, but he is the only person. Anyway, reading this post, I laughed at this: I have no idea actually I need to ask her. I believe that she pays some of her rent and her mom pays the rest. She lives on her own. The definition of living "on your own" is doing it, on your own. Sucks that she lost all her stuff. But it is just stuff and stuff can be purchased again. Aren't there other needs? Trying to buy records shouldn't be a priority. I lived in New Orleans in 2005 when Hurricane Katrina and the man-made disaster of the levees failing inundated my place for nearly a month with water. While I was away from my apartment, all I wondered about were mix CDs I had from friends, photographs I couldn't replace, other non-buyable things, etc. I didn't buy a single record for a while until I saw what I had and what I lost. Thankfully, I lived on the second floor and didn't lose anything. Duff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetruthaboutheaven21 Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share Posted August 19, 2014 My mistake for posting about my friends house burning down. I would delete this before more people bitch on it but it says I can't. Don't donate if you don't want to and donate if you do. Absolutely no reason to start a bunch of shit on my post.

It's nice to have that security especially with all the records in our house. Is there a thread on here about how to properly document your records for insurance purposes? I'm guessing a discogs collection list doesn't cut it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
