I know there are videos of people unboxing sets, and some sets are easier than others to identify how many bags (like 3x bag 1's, and 2x bag 2's, ... 3x bag 14's), and that these bags are in a sub box, etc.  Anyway what about brick picker making a catalog of the sets, and as a community when we unbox any set that is not in this catalog take note of how many of each bag and take pictures of say all of the bag 1's and bag 2's, etc.?

 

 I have thought about doing this for some time heck whats another domain (when you already have 160, lol), and I already have servers in a colo. I know I started the writing the framework for this.  I would be happy to help and or donate some server resources (storage, bandwidth, etc.) to brickpicker, to house a lot of hi res pictures and that DB.

We have this:

But I understand what you're thinking.  Some sort of selectable database where you can look up a set and see what the contents should be. 

I think the idea is interesting, provided it gives weights for each bag, and perhaps key pieces to be found in each bag (and for those with a ton of time, a list of all pieces in each bag ). So if you find a set bag in a thrift store, you can look it up by number and weight, and match the contents to the search results.

There's definitely a "hole" in the LEGO world for tracking these things.  Other than thread above, and some similar ones on sites, it's tough sometimes to find that info.

Problem here is most brickpickers don't want to open boxes. I see dollar signs floating away anytime I open a new set 

It would be a valuable resource. I have used google to find bag counts, usually find them on some random forum. 

I know there is that in a forum post, I did find that.  But exactly, selectable database.

 

Understand about opening good sets and seeing $$$ leaving.  I know I am starting to take detailed photos of each bag for every set, I open.  I haven't done the weight... BUT will start.  

 

I think some of the other information that would then be useful (if the supper OCD people start cataloging pieces per bag) you would know that if you have bags 1 - 2 on set A, you would also have the needed parts for the bags 2-3 on set B, or C.
