I have tracked every single item I sold in excel. I have 4 different Workbooks, each with about 5 worksheets. All items are tracked to the lot I purchased them in and the lot cost. These are listed individually with the sale price and shipping charge. The spreadsheet then calculates that Net price after deducting all applicable ebay, paypal and shipping costs. All items sold are then added and count against the purchase price of the lot, ultimately ending in a "Net Profit" (or loss).I am at about #360 (which indicates the 360th lot I purchased from ebay or other sources.I also have 8,000 scans/digital pics (1.6 GB) - I used to delete them or I'd have quite a bit more. Each scan is kept in a folder for the particular RPG and/or publisher and listed by the game, name and lot #. i.e. ADDtombofhorrorslot291.jpg , warhammerapocryphanowlot221.jpg , changelingkithbooksatyrslot98.jpg ,etc. Unless I took a digital picture of a box set and contents, these usually all have a corresponding scan of the back cover (listed with "back").

I have no problem mentioning names, and I've got a guess: it's what's-his-face ... Panther, Ocelot, Leopard, Jaguar, Cheetah ... it's something like that.
