Tips for listing your hobbies & valuables
- List items separately with quantity. "Kitchen stuff, $2,000" will be rejected; "Pots & pans set (10 pc, Calphalon), qty 1, $300" won't.
- Include brand and model wherever you remember them. They justify a higher replacement cost.
- Estimate age honestly. Depreciation is calculated from age, and adjusters check plausibility.
- Look through old photos, social media posts, Amazon and credit card order history, and phone videos for items you've forgotten.
