Current value is a tricky concept in my experience. The prices asked for models vary everywhere - on eBay they are often higher (or lower) than an LHS, and some LHS charge higher prices than others. I've seen Fleischmann cars that I bought used with a "sticker price" of £10 go for £20 on eBay (same car, same condition, and I'll be going back to that store again!). Price guides are often very far removed from reality - again, I've seen list prices well above what you'd pay for an item and also far below. <br /> <br />As far as cataloguing is concerned, I'd use something like Access (database package) and build a custom database. I've done this for some Hornby coaches in my collection, sorting by paint scheme, running number, manufacturer model number, etc. You could do this and add a "amount paid" section where you record what you paid for the item, then just check this against what they're now going for sometimes. Hope this helps!
