    If I have the tax available, I add it, If I don't have it, I don't.

    And if I sell stuff and make the money back, I take it off my purchases.

    Thanks for the responses guys! These are both very logical answers. The whole point is to accurately reflect the money we're spending on this hobby. The total money taken out of our wallets is the bottom line, not the individual item. Taxes and shipping (and even gasoline consumption) are all part of the final cost of purchasing a new Transformer.

    I still want to keep track of MSRP and tracking the differences but I think I'll have to update my spreadsheet to be a little more transparent and log this stuff more accurately.

    I also commend you Shadow Panther for keeping track of the profit/loss on the stuff you sell. That's detail that I haven't yet achieved. Although, I haven't started actively selling off parts of my collection until this year.

    I didnt start doing that until a few years ago

    I dont factor gas into it as either i am
    1) stopping at stores during the day in my work vehicle (dont tell my boss)
    2) stopping at a store on my way to or from work
    3) going to the store for other reasons

    If you want your cake and eat it to you can do columns or rows on your spreadsheet
    1) cost of item
    2) tax
    3) shipping (if any)
    4) gas
    5) total spent

    Gas is a very tricky variable to account for. It's definitely possible to track it but requires a lot more math than I care to do.

    And I did just modify my columns to include everything you just mentioned. I still left out gas but I also added a MSRP + Tax column to give me a better baseline of what figures would go for at normal retail. :thumb
