Site to Manage Collections

[sphere and ash]

Just to be clear, collectorsystems.com is not for sellers. It is for managing a collection and sharing your collection with others through public and private galleries. Some museums also use it to manage their collections.

Is there something similar to CollectorSystems for us low end collectors at a much lower monthly cost ?

I'm not sure what managing a collection means, but collectorfocus lets you put titles and pictures of everything on the site, and organize it however you wish, for free.

this is pretty close to what I was looking for, only issue is that you can't upload multiple images :/

Does anyone have an opinion or thought as to whether there is a market for an online “gallery” service with perhaps an e-commerce option at around $10/month (maybe ~$25/mo with the e-commerce option)?

I’m recently laid off and only working part-time and thinking about a possible project.

There is a collectible software by PrimaSoft that may be good... primasoft.com... I don't have it but was looking for something....

I manage to get along nicely with collectorfocus.

Bookkeeping is facilitated by using my 17 spreadsheet proprietary system.

When using the above, it helps to mever nake mistakes.

I use Imageevent and pay $65 a year for unlimited storage. The site is very clean and there are no external ads.

I used to use photobucket until they went nuts wanting to charge people $400 a year for 3rd party hosting. Since then I moved most of my photos over to Flickr.

Flickr allows for bulk uploading and lots of tags and a description on each photo. It has privacy settings that are customizable, so you control what is seen and by whom. It also has a nice look to it. And it is free.

The only downside that I see is that it does not allow you to create links to multiple photos at one time. All this means is that it takes longer to post multiple photos to forums and such.

I agree Imageevent is awesome. I keep looking for something that's better, but I haven't found it yet. I've never considered Photobucket because it's layout is so unattractive, and pop-up ads are a non-starter.

I can't figure how such a system could be worth $85 per month.

I use webs.com with the $5.99 per month plan.
