Cataloging your Collection

[justin8301]

Just kind of curious to see how many people include hardware and accessories when cataloging your collections here on the site. I've been out of the game for a while and amassed a bit of a backlog so I decided to wipe out my collection on the site and redo the whole thing. Not sure if i want to include systems or not yet.

I have a couple of accessories and such listed but no hardware as of yet. It's one part I haven't gotten around to it and another part I'm lazy and don't feel like adding them in.

I list systems when complete boxed

Accesoires only if It's something special and or complete boxed.

Definitely not going to list the many memory cards or controllers for multiple systems.

[burningdoom]

Absolutely I add them.

I paid for them, they add value to the collection, and when it comes to insurance purposes (hopefully nothing ever happens to it) it's there for record too.

I have so much to add, but I haven't yet because I'm in the process of setting up my gameroom. I plan to go through and catalog everything fully here when I start setting it up. I do plan to add consoles, accessories etc so I know what I have. Id even like to add my collection of guides at some point. The only thing I plan to avoid is merchandise and what not. I say go for it, but it's really up to your preference.

Nope. I just use VGC to track my game collection. Not gonna forget what systems or controllers I might have.

I have a nice selection of boxed retro graphics cards that I'd love to catalogue here aswell but I understand that we have to draw a line somewhere and that would probably open pandora's box.

[tripredacus]

Yeah I also have a ton of computer stuff also but it isn't really viable to put them on here at this time.

I have put very few hardware items into my collection here. Not sure the reason why.

I do add controllers and memory cards to my collection because they cost me and guess that don't have to say that some of them are pretty expensive, what I don't put are the video cables or the power adapters, yes they are not free but most all of them are included in almost all the systems/consoles that currently have at my collection 

[wartoy]

I do try too but not 100%

[guilty0fbeing]

I catalogue what I have, loose or boxed. The only issue I've ran into is I have a commissioned orange GBA with a new AGS-101 screen. I do not, however, add digital games. Lastly, I'm still behind on adding everything.

[98dgreen]

Yes everything except cords and whatnot

[shepard11]

I record almost everything in my collection whether it's loose or complete. I do not count digital games. (I know weird) And everything has a place in my collection even though I need to expand some of their holding areas.

[burningdoom]

I add digital games, it's looking like I'm the only one, lol. While it may not be as cool as a physical copy, it's still a copy of a game I paid for and own.

I don't add the XBox One Free With Gold games, though, since those are only accessible if you are subscribed to XBox Live Gold.

[ferraroso]

I add to my colection here all the consoles and always try to add all the accessories that I feel relevant. For example, I won't add a loose SNES controller, a third white DreamCast or a PC Engine AV cable here, but if I buy an SNES Capcom Pad Soldier, a white Sega Saturn or a PC Engine multitap for example, I'll definitely catalogue it here.
And if I purchase some doubles, I usually add them to my Sell List.

I use the VGCollect as a means to keep track of what games/systems/accessories I already have and what is their current condition. This way, I won't waist time looking for something that I already have at the same time that I can check if I already own the manual or box for some item when I'm out in the wild.

I never add any digital games though.
I don't feel like I really own the game if I cannot touch it and I'm always searching for physical copies of the games that I purchased digitally.
