<p>[QUOTE="Cazkaboom, post: 1344109, member: 33215"]I keep track of my purchases and sales on different sheets of paper, then I keep a running tally of inventory on paper with values. I know, I feel like a caveman who doesn't know how to use excel... but I do keep track. I also keep track of my purchases/sales at my coin clubs. Usually I end up buying more than I sell, but I try to sell more than I buy just for coin club. So far I have done pretty well with the end of year raffles, making $40 cash just from raffles covering what I paid an $18 more than I spent on tickets, good. When I buy in the coin club auctions, I usually sell something different at the next to keep more money in my pocket.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have two binders for my coins in 2x2s, one for 1964-present coins, and one for silver age coins and older. Anything I do not store in those or my "Silver box" does not get recorded. I do have a bunch of untracked coins such as my rolls of wheaties (Gave up on tracking those when I sold my first collection) and the coins in whitman folders save the 20th century coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>In untracked coins, I have no clue what I have, but I would guess I have about $150 in coins there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
