I speak solely as a user. I usually am cruising Peeron to determine "what
set do I need to buy to get mass quantities of this part because the
Brickbay price is too high". So all I really care about is the parts,
quantities, and colors. The bag info is helpful too when I go to part out
the set, but not THAT helpful. Once I open the first set box I am going to
know what bag to go for in the rare case that I am not rendering the whole
set at the same time.
The instruction and sticker serial numbers are less interesting to me,
instructions get binned and stickers put in a slush pile of "better do
something with these some day", except in rare cases (the telekoms, the Tine
Dairys of the world, both of which were bought in part for their torso
stickers for a particular MTW figure pack)
That said I would say that if you enjoy doing it to a higher level great,
but I would not want to see people holding back because they didn't have all
the detail you do.

| Hi all, First off, I'd like to thank Dan for setting up such a great resource. I started off as solely a user of peeron also.
