Started Cataloging My Collection...

What is the reason that people do this? I don't have any desire, and I'm just wondering why people do so.

I do it to keep better track what I have/want. Makes it easy for my friend to spot games for me too. He lives 5 min from a PnT....its an Hour+ drive for me. He just checks my Backloggery Wish list. I forget sometimes what I do and dont have. For the most part Im good, but there are a few that sound familiar and make me second guess what I think I know.

I too use game collector pro, however didnt pay. I had signed up years back when they had a promo where you tried out some partner's program you got it free.
The reason that myself as I am sure others do this is for simple inventory management. Also its quite neat to be able to look over your collection from pretty much anywhere. I used to be bad about updating it and couldnt tell you how many times I bought doubles or looked and found I didn't have a game I thought I did.
Given, my collection is getting a bit overwhelming for me, im over 1800 games now
@SNESGuy - Your more in depth than me, I don't list my consoles for I always felt it quite obvious if I have games for the system lol, that and I don't go in depth on condition and price as the prices fluctuate too much.

I recommend Sisimizi... especially after I stopped using Cart Commander. :P

So I know exactly what I have. What if my house gets stolen or explodes, what would I tell insurance? I should probably take pictures of everything as well.
It's also nice to have everything organized, I also have my boxes, manuals and what-not written in. I'm a CI collector, and it's nice to know what I need to complete my collection without searching through every case, I only need 1 more Wii manual for Godfather Blackhead Edition to have every game CIB, I'm also very close with all CIB DS games. It helps with me keeping them easily alphabetized, and keep track of the total amount.
Here is what my DS list looks like:
