Frequently asked questions

Stowcase is a detailed inventory for physical collections and household possessions. It combines fast capture, collection-specific metadata, copy-level records, valuations, documents, ownership tools, selective sharing, and insurance-ready reporting in one place.

Not yet. Stowcase is invite-only while the cataloging experience is refined. You can request an invite from any page on this site and we'll reach out as access opens up.

Stowcase supports Film & TV, music, books, video games, board games, electronics, appliances, furniture, jewelry, watches, art, instruments, tools, collectibles, and other household collections. Each item keeps the fields and metadata that make sense for its collection.

Scan a barcode, photograph media packaging, search by title, add an item manually, or import an existing file. For a home inventory, photograph one or more objects and Stowcase can suggest each name, collection, replacement cost, and readable serial number before you save them individually.

Yes. Stowcase supports imports from Discogs, Blu-ray.com, Goodreads, CSV, Excel, JSON, and TSV, with a review step before records are saved. The import guide covers supported exports and recommended spreadsheet columns.

Yes. Export the collection as CSV, Excel, or JSON. The insurance report also creates a printable PDF, a working CSV, or a ZIP bundle containing the report and attached supporting documents.

Stowcase can show market-based value estimates and condition bands where listing data is available. You can also record purchase price, replacement cost, appraised value, appraisal details, and whether an item is separately scheduled on an insurance policy. Estimates are reference points, not formal appraisals.

The report totals documented value, identifies items with no value, summarizes rooms, and calls attention to categories that often have policy sub-limits. You can download a room-by-room PDF, CSV, or complete evidence bundle. Stowcase does not interpret your policy or replace advice from your insurer.

Yes. Supporting documents stay attached to the relevant item, including receipts, appraisals, serial photos, and other evidence. They can also be included in the full insurance bundle.

Stowcase includes wishlists, loan and return history, box sets, watched and played activity, an Up next queue, search and filters, collection insights, physical locations, and moving-box tracking.

It is private by default. You can separately choose whether your collection, wishlist, and sale prices appear on a searchable public profile. A public profile may show physical locations and whether items are loaned, but borrower identities, supporting documents, purchase details, and insurance records are not published.

Pricing has not been finalized while Stowcase is in its invite-only phase. Anyone with access today is helping shape what that looks like.
