With all these bundle sales, there is always games you don't need and you will trade them for some others. That's what I have right now about 20-30 keys on different websites, and I'm thinking to organize them somehow.
Whats the best way to organize a library of unused activation keys for future activations /trades ? Are there some special tools available for that purpose?
How do you manage your?

Used to use Notepad, but for copying titles to trade sites, was much easier with Excel.

Depends how many you have, notepad is fine for small groups but get you can get to a point where it's too cluttered. If you have a whole heap I'd say excel/spreadsheet yes (you can even use Google Docs).

OR you could have several notepad files, but honestly just get a spreadsheet.

Excel, so then you can color the cells to mark whether you've used them.

But then how will you keep count of how many games you buy? (And let crushing reality set in...)

I refuse to accept reality.

If I did, I would have stopped long before now, instead of making plans for my cash before I have it. Two games I want if the sales last to pay day. I really hope they do.

If your email provider has a notepad feature, you can access your list(s) anytime/anywhere you access your email.

Make a software using VB xD

I could actually do that, given enough incentive.

Making my own software.. Sounds like a great idea. I think I would need to spend about half year (or more) learning coding, to solve this not that big issue lol

Nothing, I'm not even kidding, I just leave them in the bundle site and the only list that exist is the one in my trade thread.
That said, it never went over 50 items at a time so is easy to manage them by just memory.
