INVENTORY PROGRAM OR DATABASE into WEB SITE

I have a ton of and world coins and world proof sets.
I want to purchase the best inventory program that i can get.
ANY suggestions ???
then i would like to take that database or spreadsheet, and make a web site of all my coins for sale ??
ANY IDEAS ???

Someone must have done this before, i really do NOT want to have to reinvent the wheel.
There is a program called ExactChange that has a database of 26,000 world coins inc US.

PLEASE just give me any ideas, suggestions, or links.
thank you, sincerely, BILL

THERE MUST BE SOMETHING OUT THERE, JUST ANY IDEAS OR ADVICE, PLEASE

    I always preferred to make my own.

    That being said, you're right- there MUST be something out there.

    Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.

    I do NOT want to reinvent the wheel and retype everything in.
    it is like if you have a 3 inch thick krause world coin book, you could sit there and RE-TYPE all that stuff into a database - stuff like KM#, metal content, mintage, weight, thickness, etc etc
    BUT it would take you a month !
    all of the collector programs will let you put stuff in, but very limited what you can take out - export a list of coins in there.
    i have so much, it is mind-boggling !

    THERE HAS TO BE SOME DATABASE FROM KRAUSE OR ANOTHER PROGRAM FOR ALL THE COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD, THAT I CAN USE AS MY BASIS FOR A DATABASE TO INVENTORY MY COINS, AND ONCE I HAVE, HOOK UP A SHOPPING CART ON A WEBSITE.

    ANY IDEAS OR SUGGESTIONS, AM WILLING TO PURCHASE ANYTHING.

    Krause has the NumisMaster database. I haven't used it, but I'm sure there are ways to pull information up dynamically by using KM numbers, or something similar.

    NGC put together a World Coin Price Guide that's also based on Numismaster, I believe.

    There are a few sources of information out there.
