I leave the field blank. My interest in keeping track of how much I paid for a DVD is exactly the same as my interest in keeping track of how much I paid for shoes, socks, beer, jeans, gas....= nil.

I always record the costs of everything in my Shoes & Beer Database, including the price of the washing powder and electricity, but excluding washing machine depreciation, water and washing up liquid.  Everyone does, don't they?

Yes, yes, Of course, all that, and more.
DVD retail cost? Shipping? Taxes? hmmmm? What about color of DVD case? Name of store where DVD bought? Day of week DVD bought? Tracking minds need to keep track....track it all, by all means.

I have actually, seriously though of recording the case colours.  But then I'd have the same issue that we have with aspect ratios; do I record the exact colour somehow, or lump them all into general colours, like red, green, blue, etc.  Then I'd want a translucent tick box too. it just goes on and on....

I actually do track the case colors... using Tags. 

Yes!    So what's Top of the Colours then?  (Other than black, 'sort of see through white', or blue Blu-ray?)

I usually put in the notes box ( just below the srp area)  either inc ship  .. or N/C  ship (with the ship price noted there)  .. but my biggest problem  is where I can default all my costs to CDN  and sure enough  weeks or months later I notice it has once again popped back to USD ...

Tools->Options->System->Currency

I include the cost of driving to the shop: 3197 cm³ V6, 265 hp. Quattro.

Well I am going to have a more detailed statistic in the future, which I'm already profiling with Beta 3.9.

For example today's arrival:





Or a recent arrival where I didn't need to pay anything due to a gift certificate:






I'm a statistics fan. But I've also seen quite a few number of people who measure their purchase price against the SRP to see how much they've saved.
