I've been working on my collection on  Pele's online 
"Encyclopedia-of-Meteorites" (incredible site if you have not been  there).  I've never set up 
inventory reference #s for "My Collection" and  am looking for ideas.  Anyone out 
there got a good system worked out and  willing to share it?

Here is a suggestion, something similar to the system I use on my  Catalog.
 
The seller represented by 2 letters, the year of purchase represented by 2  
numbers, and a sequential number.
Example:
The 8th specimen you bought from Mike Farmer in 2005, would be referenced:  
MF-05-008
The 25th specimen you bought from Greg Hupe in 2006, would be  referenced: 
GH-06-025
And the first specimen you buy from me this year will be:   AB-06-001
 
Would that work for you?
Any other suggestion?
