My friend and former employer has a vast and insanely valuable collection and has the whole thing archived in a database for personal and insurance reasons. It was hilarious at the shop; we would run across some old soul LP and he would be like "Hey, let me look and see if I have this in better or worse condition....nope, mine's VG+ and this one is VG. Go ahead and list it!"

Is that how those places work? The store around the corner supposedly has a huge basement full of records, and I'm told customers only see the tip of the iceberg on the store floor. The manager tells me the owner has valuable stuff down there that he won't let anybody touch until a better copy comes in to the store, then he brings up the "less valuable" copy. God, I'd love to be in that position.
I've often thought of videotaping my collection, but the thought of doing all that work is kind of off-putting. Pulling out each album, pulling out the Lp, describing the condition, date of purchase, etc. Yuck.
