I've sort of stalled on developing my own (just for personal use). Is it something you'd be willing to share? 

The site is from 2010 and built with now old Asp.net MVC 1.0. The front end is all JQuery. I don't think it would help you much. You would have to rebuild a lot of it. Wasn't tested for mobile either. If I find the code I'll post it.

I have tried a bunch. None of them seem to be created for my type of collecting.

Most apps are focused on either checking off what you have read or focus too much information about editor, colorist, colorist's dog name...etc, and give little space for actual inventory information.

None of them have a feature to log what you paid for a book. None of them have an easy way to log multiple copies of a single issue, with a way to distiguish condition for each one. Logging this type of info seems like a no brainer but no app seems to be able to do this easily without a frustrating workaround. All apps mentioned above work fine for casual collectors/readers.

If anyone has a good suggestion for my needs, please chime in. I would love to try something else.

Whats funny is that I used to run a site that did all of this. Even let you use tags and keep track of how much you spent and how much your collection was worth. I charged $2 a month and still couldn't get enough people to sign up. I built it because I wanted all those tools. Apparently not enough collectors out there that are looking for this.
