Feature Idea: Tracking Value and/or MSRP

It would be really nice, for insurance purposes, if Equipboard tracked the MSRP of gear and provided a total value. It would be especially nice if those values were either private or had privacy as an option.

Even if pulling the value were not an option, it would be nice to have a stored field for each item where users who care could provide a value for that item.

value is a subjective term, particularly in musical instruments

what's the value of my '62 ac30? Its been recovered, has a replaced choke.... but what's its value? to me priceless. If my house burned down I could not find another old amp I love so well

only when discussing vintage or historic instruments. like your ac30-- not exactly representative of the average ac30 or even any other '62 ac30, since i imagine yours is pristine. i think an msrp tracker just wouldn't make sense here, because this isn't reverb and you can't buy or trade stuff through here. this is more of an index and we already link to amazon so it doesnt make sense, but the value of a 2018 ac30 is very easily tracked haha

I guess so... and no, my 62 ac30 is a players peice.... cab is partially rebuilt after ebing damaged, its been recovered in the wrong tolex, it had a top boost module retrofitted soem time during the later 60s which i removed recently and probably won't put abck on... let me think, the fitler choke burned up during a catastrophic failure a few eyars ago and tis been repalced with a emrcury magnetics Haddon clone... the original 62 blue speakers were long gone when I purchased it 15 years ago although I own a pair of suitable replacements from a few eyars alter (I keepa reissue and an H30 in it lately, old speakers shouldn't be pushed hard), and there's a ahndful of signal caps that have been rplaced.... also, there's a bright cap on the brilliant channel volume pot that may be non-original, its not part of this era's service schematic, it came later.... I suspect it was added at the same time as the top boost module form the abck, whenever the hell that was. But it LOOKS pristine at a glance LOL

but my point is, the momene soemthing is leaves the music store it ebcomes subjective int erms of value. VOxes like mine trade for reasonable prices in europe compared to the USA (even factoring in exchange rates) ebcause they're more abundant whereas fenders are like gold over there, even recent production ones command enormouse resale prices assumign the mdoel is no longer made or ahs changed spec in some way... you cna't blanket value used gear of any type because its value is regional... hence SUBJECTIVE. And if you mean isnurance puproses? I couldn't insure my ac30. I eman, tis insured at a value of I think 3 grand if there's a fire in my home, but that couldn't ever reeplace MY particular ac30.I could get another 62 in player-shape for about that money but it wouldn't be MINEwith all tis aprticular quirks. Anything that's worth less than 4 figures that might have a mroe clear cut value? A homeowners or renters policy will likely not be terribly interested in. Small ticket items like that are part of teh overall payout if your houe burns down. Its the fancy shit like diamond rings, gibson custom historic 335s and vintage voxes you need to insure.

I take the OPs point, i just feel like you cna't accurately track a blanket marrket value of anything that's worth appraising like this.
