<p>[QUOTE="ewomack, post: 24615725, member: 15588"]I'm one of those spreadsheet types. I have a spreadsheet showing date purchased, description, cost (w/o postage), postage cost, exchange rate (when applicable), dealer/vendor purchased from, venue or website purchased from, any notes I want to collect, and the day the coin arrived in my hands (for show or in-person purchases, the date purchased and arrival dates are identical).</p><p><br /></p><p>All of this information goes back at least 10 years (maybe more, I haven't scrolled up in a while). Only once have I had the courage to hit the "sum total" on the "purchase price" column - that's something I won't do again. The problem with keeping records is that it's easy to determine how much one spends - the amounts always surprise me when I look at them. So, perhaps, maybe it's best to never look at them?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
