There is a databasing software out there for collectors, which allows you to scan barcodes (or something like that) which would be so much simpler, however since the guy that runs it tried to sue me for unknowingly infringing his copyright of the term "collectorz" (rather than just contacting me to let me know so I could change it, I found out by having a letter FedEx'd from his lawyer) - so yeah, I won't be buying the software lol and that is also why my site is called "Collecting Asylum" - it used to be "Collectorz Asylum" till all those shenanigans happened  x |
Wow! Really!?! That's crazy that he would feel that he has sole rights to "Collectorz", seems like a pretty common enough word, but I guess if he has it copyrighted then he can do that. Yeah, I had looked at that particular one but I didn't care for some of the options (or cost iirc).
I currently use SortIt's "Collection" app. It works really well with only a few minor complaints on my part. You can scan, bulk scan, or manually input your information. You can also import directly into it (possibly from Excel since you can export TO Excel). I had an extra iTunes giftcard on my account so I went with the full pro version after using the trial (I think it was like $6 or something?). I think I started with the "books" demo (and uploaded all my CE guides), and then got the "Video games" module for the $6 iirc.
I really like it, and its great that it has a web interface and mobile interface so I can access or update it anywhere.
The features that I feel it lacks are all mentioned in the FAQs as being available in future releases, and he responds to email pretty quickly too, so I don't have any major complaints. May be worth you looking into it
