<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cherd, post: 1474592, member: 24754&quot;]Heh, you guys are making me re-think something. I collect a particular type of antique fishing lure. For the last four years I have been maintaining a spreadsheet for these lures where I catalog every eBay and other auction sale that I can possibly find. Every entry contains pictures of the lure, the description that was provided, and the sale price/shipping/buyer&#039;s fee breakdown. The database is huge, and does take a lot of time to keep up with. It has pages for lures, lure boxes, folkart varieties, etc. It contains data on over 200 different types of lures, and probably contains over 1000 individual sale entries. I made it in excel, and the file itself is about 40 Megabytes.</p><p><br /></p><p>I started the database as a tool that I could use for determining appropriate prices for the lures that I wanted. Since then, through a forum such as this one, I have come to know the guy that literally &quot;wrote the book&quot; on the type of lure that I collect. I figured that he would find my spreadsheet of interest, so I sent it his way. Since that point he inquires about updates to the database about every 6 months or so. Never really thought about it, I just send him the updates. Now you&#039;ve got me thinking, I&#039;M PROVIDING A TIME CONSUMING SERVICE FOR FREE!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>Haha, I&#039;m not all that worried about it. The second edition of his book (price guide) is coming out soon, maybe he will acknowledge my efforts in the forward <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
