I don't have a spreadsheet, and passed the point LONG ago where I should have
started one, so I'm never going to ;-)
I bought too many multiples, tossed most of the instructions/boxes, and parted
them out into my parts. I've also probably traded away several thousand pieces
from new sets (I rarely EVER trade used pieces, I feel guilty about not sending
out new parts).
I also probably have a good 20-40 lbs of stuff from various Ebay auctions, and
another 50+ on the way, so trying to keep track is just hopeless ;-) And most
of that 70-90 lbs will go right back on Ebay in 5-10lb lots once I take the few
parts I like out of them (it's getting REALLY bad when you buy 10 lbs, and feel
happy you found 1/2-1 lb to keep, since your Wants are so specific, and you
already have too many basic bricks/plates).
And my "Shock Value" pile is less than half its' original size, as I sold off
half the 8480s, several more 5571s, and compacted 10 4561s into 3 boxes,
splitting some of the parts into my parts collection. But I think the SV
stacks still total around 50-60,000 pieces.
