The second part of cataloging is the accurate assessment of the condition of each piece. This is absolutely essential if the sale of the collection is to be accomplished. If such a sale is to be conducted by an auction house or other unrelated entity, the assessment of condition may be left to that active seller (who assumes responsibility for the accuracy of their descriptions) but if you will be the seller, this responsibility will be yours. If you can't do this with some authority, you would need to employ someone who can.
Gently adhesive labels such as those affixed to items for sale are usually preferable, as they will usually remain in place (providing the target surface is clean) for as long as needed, and the numbering (or lettering, or a combination of the two) need only be exclusive to each piece. Note: restored surfaces may be damaged by the chemicals in glues. If a piece has a "refinished" surface, a tie-on label should be substituted for an adhesive one.
As for software, an Excel spread sheet works fine. You can have as many different columns as you have need for types of information, and it can be completed with the addition of purchase and sale prices for your accounting at tax time if you bother to claim your gains and/or losses. I can't speak for "Recollector" as I have never had the need to look past Excel.
Good Luck.
