Can someone please explain cataloging to me?

I keep seeing people post about wanting to 'catalog' things etc. I know that when you buy something in the game it goes to your catalog so you can reorder it (so I've bought sooooo many things and sold them so I'd have them later), but can you catalog things without having to buy them? I'm just a little confused about it haha. Thx!

You can catalog things just by picking up items. People catalog so they can...

a.) Reorder it later
b.) complete their catalog for badges

And that's basically it, I think.

You just pick them up and put them back down

You catalog an item when you pick it up with your character. So no, you don't have to purchase an item to catalog it nor do you need to own it.

ARE YOU GUYS SERIOUS?!?! Haha wow I would have saved so much money! So that's why people ask if they can catalog things in other peoples towns, huh? Makes sense! Thanks for the answers!

Tip wear a wetsuit when you go to a clothing catalog party. It just say to drop it and you wouldn't put it on by mistake. Goes faster.

Also let all your side player catalog it just in case you want to order a lot later or play them as real players for badges.
Don't let them catalog items like the snow series. If you catalog it in another players town before you get to play it can turn into a lot of repeats and not a full set.
