Chart Showing Historic Collection Cost & Profit


You can now see your collection's historic cost and profit.

See how much you've invested into your collection every month and watch to see how the overall profit has changed over time too. (I don't input cost on my admin test collection so the chart is a bit boring for me).

This goes along with the recent addition to show current total cost and profit, but the historic data gives you more context.



The historic data is only available to premium subscribers at this time. We've been storing this data though for all users since October 2021. So if you decide to subscribe you will see all your historic data, not just data since you subscribed.



Visit your collection page and try it out.
Click "Cost" or "Profit" in the chart to view the data.
You might need to toggle off the "Value" line to see more detail in the cost and profit lines.

So on the first of this year my cost took a major hit of about $6k. I definitely didn't remove that many items from my collection. I'm guessing the way something was recorded changed at the beginning of the year? Any idea how I can track that down and correct it?

@sparky01gt - Can you give me a link to your collection (email or comment is fine, whichever you prefer)? I'll look into this and see what I can find out.

Excellent update! Is it possible to implement user to modify date of entry for their collection? This would be super helpful with this tool to keep things accurate. I know were able to sort by date added, but it seems the system loses the data at some point and kind of ranks them all the same entry date.

@Tim - Glad you like the feature. Can you give me an example of an item where the date you added it seemed to change? I just did some tests and looked at the code and the "date added" didn't/shouldn't change if the details are updated on an item.

If you can give me an example, then I can look into what might have happened.

I’m not sure what Tim specifically is mentioning but it would be cool if there was a way to edit the date added. I added my collection to this site about 6 months ago but I’ve been collecting for nearly 15 years. It might be nice to correct the date added for several items that weren’t able to be imported at the time I created my account. I’m not sure if I would want to correct nearly 3000 entries back 15 years or more but it would be nice to be able to add something and say "no this isn’t actually a new addition to my collection. I’ve owned it since xx/xx/xxxx and just didn’t or couldn’t add it for some reason".
