The point is help to keep within a budget.

I could ask what is the point of having an purchase price ?

Some people are interested to know how much they've spent on their collection. Or shudder when they see it!

Exactly my point !  The true cost is not what is actually in your collection but what you have spent on DVD's. If you spend $1000 on DVD's and then sell $200 dollars worth, you can hardly claim that your DVD collection cost you only $800. If you make a loss of $100 on the sale of those dvd's then the true cost of DVD's bought is $900.

If the reason against my suggestion is that such a facility is "not needed" then I am sure there are dozens of facilities that most people don't need. For example who on earth needs the RRP?  This is a ficticious figure made up my manufacturers to make us think we are getting a bargain. It has no relevance to a DVD collection.

I'm not saying that it's not needed (although I certainly don't need it). I'm saying that it would move the software from a personal use program to a commercial use one. You almost certainly wont find a program similar to this that is licensed for commercial use for $30 but probably at least $200 depending on the Developer. Ken may choose to extend into that market with a modified version of DVDP but I can almost guarantee that it will be considerably more than the price for a normal DVDP license.

SRP is very valid for a collection as it can be used for reporting losses to insurance.

I can somewhat see your point about selling off your unwanted movies and taking that amound into account when calculating what you spent (you could aways keep the movie in your collection and reduce the purchase price by what you sold it and it would accomplish the same thing) however trying to support your cause by saying a current feature has no relavence to a dvd collection when it has just as much if not more to what you are suggesting doesn't help your cause.

Plus, do you take if you spend the $100 you 'recovered' on more dvds into account when calculating what you spent. sounds like you need to start using quicken or some other budgeting softwre to track your dvd spending. I'll tell you for those advanced accounting type of features your asking for your asking a lot from a $30 piece of software.

definitely not something I would use. But then again... I do not sell DVDs. If I am done with any discs I won't sell them... I just give them away to friends and family. And then I seldomly do that. I normally keep everything I get.

If you are interesting in knowing how much you have spend on DVD's then you would still need to track those that you have given away.  If you spend $1000 dollars on DVD's, give away $200 Dollars worth and then remove them from your collection then you can't say you only paid $800 for DVD's which is what DVD Profiler would report.

I don't believe any insurance company would pay out on anything based on an RRP which is not surprising when the RRP is often 4 or 5 times the actual price even with new releases. In my experience the most you can hope for is to get the current market value and even then you have to fight for it.

i've sold so many that my price paid in dvd profiler could be thousands off... but i actually care more for insurance purposes then anything else... i understand the need of the request... but i dont think it belongs in dvdp sadly..

The facility is practically already there and certainly can hardly be described as an advanced feature. The coding would be identical to that of the purchase price just with a different field name. The report simply has to subtract DVD's sold from DVD's purchased. Far easier to carry out than most of the feature requests that are asked for.

It seems to me a simple case of how many people would like an accurate figure of how much they have spent on dvd's. Of course there are many people who wouldn't use the feature just as there are many people who don't other existing features .

"Acknowledged" worst film ever.  I have no idea. Tell me

I believe that would be "Plan 9 from Outer Space."

I suppose when a movie is that bad it can actually be quite entertaining. Funny enough I just looked on the IMDB site and that film doesn't even appear in the top 100.

Who is IMDb? What gives them credibility? Have they ever made a movie.   In fact they are the LAST source i would look at.

Skip

I thinking coming in at top of the google search result for "movies" gives them more than a little credibility and judging by their web traffic there are millions of people out there that disagree with you.
