It happens but is never fun. I had a scare yesterday when I was at work. My wife called me to tell me that the apartment building next to mine caught fire in the laundry room and several rooms were smoke damaged and many tenants had to evacuate until the apartment is refurbished. Thank goodness it wasn't mine.
I feel for you man, hopefully you can get back into it and start collecting again.
I'd be pulling my hair out when something such happened in my room...... I do not want to think about it.....
Anyway, best of luck for you, hopefully you get compensation(s) of any kind to make things slightly more tolerable
Damn dude that really sucks. I hope insurance will be generous. I guess its best to take the money and run... you know use it on something new!
This is my biggest fear. Well fire, theft ect and I loose all my consoles and old computers!
Yeah, that's a good recommendation. You could always download films and games you'd like to play. I know it's not the same, but anyway.Quote:

as far as i could see all case and inserts are ruined and most of the games are just smoke damaged. truth be told i don't know where i stand with insurance. i won't be keeping any of the games or movies. i will most likly part everything out and try to reestablish my collection at another time. so if anyone is interested in a stinky copy of a game i might just get rid of it. i am so disgusted i feel like saying f it all and let them tear the house down with everything inside. its more tramatic to me to sit there and individually go through every game and movie i have owned. i love this community.
Can you give us a list of the games you're getting rid of?Quote:

Damn that really sucks I got most of my stuff in storage but good luck on getting everything back together.
So sorry for your loss. Best of luck, you will rebound.
:( That so sucks. I can't even imagine how that must feel. I also think you might be able to get some of your money back by selling the surviving cart or disc only games on Ebay, or just selling as is stuff.
Just out of curiosity, do they know what caused it?
Sorry to hear that! It is one of my biggest fears of late.
I think you shoud peice it out for Max $$.
Me and many others here would be glad to help out.
Im just happy your OK.
Coulda been ALOT worse.
Do you know how it started? Was it a faulty plug/lamp or something?
That sucks, man. Any idea on what started the fire?
