Have you seen this, Warren?

Yes, and I've added a set into my collection, but again I don't see any
value and totaling of contents of my collection. the whole purpose i would use
this feature would be to know what my collection is worth, possibly to use for
insurance purposes.
thanks

Good to know. Thanks.

Haven't used or explored the feature yet, myself.

It strikes me as odd though, that such basic and useful abilities were not considered
during development? Maybe because they conceived the feature as a alternative
to the sellers ability to maintain inventory? Which has been requested by straight
buyer account holders, for sometime. But the whole insurance point kinda sidesteps
that.

It's still a relatively new feature, but maybe there are others that have
accumulated enough experience to help you. I'll be following your post anyway,
to see if I can glean more info on the new feature. If it doesn't exist and
as it's new, maybe open a suggestion here in the forum for the Admins to
consider, in which you bring up the "insurance" question.

I hate to admit there is another site that offers this funtion, I was hoping
to not go outside the comforts of bricklink so hopefully it's possible to
do the same here. Thanks popsicle!
