Default Alter Duplicate Product ID Entries

I have a column "Product ID" which uses mixed text and numerals. The
database is huge and there are many duplicates. I want to assign a new
Product ID to the duplicates by adding a "-1" "-2", etc. to the duplicates.
I have identified the duplicates and have them sorted by Product ID. Is
there a way to automate this otherwise lengthy, phenomenally boring task?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
