Ability to export "My Comic Collection"?

Any update on when the next version may be available with the exporting capabilities? Also, how about adding some simple search criteria.
For example
* Give me all my comics valued $200 or more.
* Give me all comics graded 9.0 or above.
* Give me all comics graded 9.0 or above and valued at $200 or more.
I'm sure there are a few other options that could easily be added. Of course with the export, one can do this themselves if they have the skills in excel or databases. But adding a screen like this and the results seems like it would be greatly used. |

I haven't used Comicbase. Nothing against it but I made a choice and went with ComicsPriceGuide. It's been a year and I'm still inputting comics (my fault really, can't find time to go through the boxes). I'd hate to do 2 systems. CPG Seems mostly usable, just a few tweeks would be nice. Depends I guess on what type of user you are. While I am not actively selling any of my collection, it's nice to see the values and overall picture.
However, if I do want to sell It seems CPG does not have any good ways to determine what I would like to sell. I certainly don't plan to sell all Marvels or DC's or whatever. It would be nice if the system allowed the minimal query items I talked about. Now if you really want to hold your breath, then the system could identify those items that are hot/increasing in price and put them in a separate list. |

Hi All,
Love the site and what you have accomplished.
I would like to see a little more in terms of trending. For example, we can see value changes but it would be great if we could give a date range. Up to 1 year in the past. Could be drop down with options like 1,3,6,12 months selections.
I would like to see longer term trends like how has spider-man 152 changed over the last 5 years. Maybe a graph.
This all assumes you are keeping the history of prices and snapshots over time.
While some people simply want to catalog their comics, there are those (not me yet but getting real close) who are more interested in values and selling. For example, I would like to know, oh...these comics I have are hot/trending right now. Gone up 25% over last 3 months. Oh...these comics I own have risen in price by $25 during last 3 months where I can set the dollar amount.
The goal is to see what in my collection is increasing and potentially hot. There are all kinds of other statistical ways you could present data but these are a few I've thought about.
I throw this to the crowd for other ideas.
Hope everyone and families are doing well. |

Thanks Ron.
We have talked in the past and it's been years since I last posted but throwing some ideas out again. I want to see gains (and painfully losses) on my collection. Be able to see top 25/50/100 gains and losses over a period of time. All in the interest of selling at the right time. If ASM 300 has hit $1000 I would like to trend it over the last 1 to x months/years and see the progression. Without a doubt this is more complex stuff but I'm throwing ideas as I would like to analyze them.
Right now one looks on Ebay and other sites to gather what's hot and selling. If someone has been looking at ASM 300 over 5 year period then a trend can be formed.
If the data is available then this kind of thing can be done. The key point being are you keeping a history of prices. If not, I suggest you do. Opens many possibilities (think graphing). This is taking a comic book and basically treating it like stock from the stock market where I can see how a company has been trending over some period of time.
Thanks for listening and keep up the good work.

Query Collection

Hi Ron,
I've asked this before but I'll bring it up again to keep it on your mind. I'm planning to send some books for grading. What I would like is to be able to do a query such as all books 9.4 or greater that have a value of $200 or greater. At the moment that can't be done from what I've looked at.
So then I decided to download to excel. Unfortunately, the download is formatted in such a way that finding this type of information is also impossible. Additionally, the download does not contain the numerical grade. It has been converted to wording such as "Near Mint".
So, what would I like?
1. A way to query/search my collection by criteria as listed above and get a result listing.
2. Alternately, if that can't be done, a way to download to excel but in more of a data dump, in a single excel sheet, not broken by first letter of title. The following would be the minimum exported.
title, issue #, numerical grade, quantity, value
Thanks for your consideration.

Hi Ron,
That sounds great. As a software guy in my day job I know there are a million things going on. I look forward to the enhancement. If there is anything I can provide, let me know. Best to contact me through the email that I signed up under.
Thanks.
