How do you keep track of your collection?

I have been wondering about this for quite a while, and have asked some of collectors with whom I talk to. How do you effectively and efficiently keep track of my collection?

I would love to find out ways that are easy and quick that you people have been using to keep track of your collection. Let me share the way I have kept track of my collection so far. I enter each models details on to an excel sheet along with details such as card condition, car condition and also the price I paid for buying it.

So far this process has been painstakingly slow and tedious. Even though there are online solutions that offer to let you keep track of your collection, it just is not convenient enough to the extent that I would like it to be.

I have put together a questionnaire which I think would help us collectors to understand the mistakes that we are doing in our hobby. Please follow this link and give your answers. I have enabled results sharing, which will let you see what others have posted as well.

Do post your comments below to let me know if anything in my questionnaire can be improved!
