  • Actually, most of the online services can be used FREE by anyone, without buying a Groqit.

    Even people who have a shelf or two of DVDs may want to use those free services.

    You know what you've got in your collection -- but does even your best friend know which movies you've already got? A kid who's got a box full of video games (and wants more new ones of course) can try to keep Grandpa up to date on his growing stash, so he will get something he wants for his birthday -- but the Groqit site makes it all easier and more civilized.

    The Groqit site's tools help you create lists of anything you want to, as many as you want -- up to 100 items per list, free. The site's data bases help fill in the details when you enter a Title or a barcode number.

    You have your wishlist for books, you put up the list of romance novels you already have, or all those games. Then you invite your friends to be Groqit Buddies with you. (This is private and secure.) They can look at the lists you want them to see, and if they decide to, they can use the free services to create their own lists to share.

    You have everything in one place, and its a lot less tacky than sending out a "gimme" list around birthday time.

    Finally, for people who are serious collectors -- and there are a lot of us -- just the word INSURANCE should conjure up some thoughts. The services are free. They are very helpful for large collections, as the tools reduce the drudgery of data entry. We store the data on our servers, just in case.

    We encourage people use to the free services; we know some will want the convenience and portability, and buy themselves a Groqit.
  • it might serve to know how to rebuy something you want, like a same color tone of makeup ... their names always seem to fade away by the time you need to refuel :P
