I recently discovered Catawiki and immediately signed up enthusiastically. I have a music collection of about 3000 CDs and a few hundred LPs, which I have neatly stored in Collectorz Music Collector Pro. Is it possible to import such a list (whether or not in Excel format)? I don't like to enter everything manually again… Thanks for your help!
Greetings, Araglin

Just send an email to rene@catawiki.nl . As far as I know, Rene and Marco have done something like this before.

Thank you for your response Frans! I sent a message through Catawiki last Wednesday (August 19), but I haven't received a reply yet. I will wait patiently… ;-)

Well, it's vacation isn't it :-) I think Marco is still gone. It will be fine.

Importing files is possible, it is useful if we also have the images and there is a relationship between the images and the database. Marco is currently very busy finishing another project, and I know there are still some of these lists. Next week a database of 100,000 stamps will be added in the same way.

Just one more but… I think…
It is very difficult when duplicate items appear in Catawiki. If we import a list, it means that it probably contains a lot of duplicate items that then have to be removed by the administrators. If a large part of the collection is already in Catawiki, it is more convenient that we send a spreadsheet in which they can be filled in.

Thank you for your response Erik! The main reason for my request has to do with the fact that I contain many albums (especially electronic music, new age and metal), which I did not find in the database ...

That would of course be a very nice addition! If there are no duplicates in the collection, that makes things a lot easier. So it can only take a while because we are still busy with other things at the moment (especially the large stamp files which also cause some complications)
