I'm curious as to how many people here actually care about completing their catalog. Why do you care about cataloging or why do you think it's a waste of time if you don't care?

For me, I want to have all of the orderable items so that I can get any of them for my house of to dress my character whenever I want. I also want all of them so that I am able to help people who are looking for specific items. I don't really care about having unorderables in my catalog since it doesn't really help, but I do collect them so that I can use them whenever I need them.
 
I want to catalog everything just for the sake of complete-ness. I've got a long way to go though, I have 500+ items I still need to catalog lol. I'll get there eventually
 
I need ALL THE THINGS. I'm a completionist when it comes to any game I play, so of course, I've made a notecard of all the items I'm still missing in my catalog. Luckily, most of it is now downloadable content or Japanese-exclusive, but there are still things- mostly clothing, I've noticed- I'm constantly searching my shops for!
 
I already have the gold catalog badge and I'm not particularly interested in completing my catalog. Maybe one day I'll just get bored enough to do it.
 
I just want the badge. I wouldn't be interested in having the whole catalog, though. :P
 
I want to complete it so i can look at all the items in the catalog to decide if i want to go out and buy it somewhere
 
I'm obsessed with badges, so heck yes do I want that gold catalogue badge.

But 100% completeness? No way. What with all the region specific DLCs, if I attempted to walk down that path it would drive me utterly mad. I'm very fussy about what I actually keep anyway. Most things I catalogue are sold within minutes.
 
I'm about 20 items away from a complete catalog for the mayor in my main town, which is the only one I plan on completing. It just takes FOREVER to do, so I have no motivation to do it all over again.
 
yeah I would like to complete my catalog eventually. it's not on the top of my to do list for acnl, but it is a goal at some point, for the sake of a good badge and cause why not. :)
 
I care so much about completing my catalog rofl. I'm almost done too. I just have the last of the gyroids left, and a DLC blue argyle tank that I'm not even sure was ever released officially yet. I also have the 5 unorderable stationary that I need to catalog (though I am debating on if I really want to own them). Other than that, I'm practically done.
 
I still have to complete my town layout and pay off loans and such, but, yes in the future :)
 
I will one day in the future, when my town is completely landscaped n my alts houses are furnished, but it isn't something I am crazy about doing right now
 
I wouldn't want to because if I tried to order something, it would take forever to get to the specific item!
 
Once I get the gold badge for 80%, I'll be happy, though over time, I'll work towards completion if I can. It's all that region-specific stuff that confounds me.
 
I don't have the motivation to complete my catalogue xD. When I first started the game - I would buy everything out of nooks for the sake of cataloging, however, now that I'm slightly over 50% complete - I'm perfectly content with what I have. If I ever need anything that I can't get from the catalogue - I'll just buy on the forums xP.
 
Yes for the badges and for completing all the items. I have 4 international items and it's complete.
All my side players have a full catalog too. Helps when my other town needs a lot of items. 60 items arriving in the mail is better.

In my newest town the mayor is buying and than dropping the items. Put it in a keep and a sale pile. Both side players catalog and sell the items. Drop all the items on the beach for them to pick up.

I'm a completionist in most games, though sadly, I have not managed to complete a game (like the Dragon Age games) 100%--meaning doing every side quest, collecting all of the mosaic pieces or whatever there are to collect in the game I'm playing.
 
I'm a collector at heart, but I think this catalog is just too big for me, so I'll probably try get the 80%.
