As I turn 50 I'm culling my CD collection. 1,500 CDs down to 700. It's a space thing, and 25 year old me is different than 50 year old me.
I’m not ready to do that but I cut down buying records and just listen to the records I already have.
I got rid of about a hundred or so of my records about a year ago that I simply didn't listen to anymore. Even with this being the case, when I sold them it was difficult becuae I've had a tendency to get emotionally attached to music since I was a kid. It helped that I replaced them with about 20 or so more expensive records I really wanted, and one I got those I was happy with my decision. So, in essence, I traded quantity for quality and I'm happier with my collection as a whole now.
I sell records at an antique shop so I am constantly picking up records that I know I can turn quickly and I am always looking for upgrade copies of records knowing that I can sell off my lesser copy. I also will cull my collection every so often. I have been thinking about doing a larger purge. I have many records that I do not listen to in my collection even though they are great titles. Some are very collectible and will sell instantly. I just worry that I will regret it. I’m glad you were able to make space on your shelves for some new records.
Cheers,
Brian☘️
It gets a little easier the more you do it. I have parted ways with around 300 or so over the past eighteen months. I was trending towards the 1000 mark so deemed it time to condense to more of an all killer no filler for my taste.
Stellar trade-ins, you definitely made multiple peoples day for sure. Motivation to go thru my collection.
Same here Nick - have just listed around 35. Was trying to get 50 but found it pretty difficult decision on which ones to let go. Good news is once I sell I can replenish with some new records 😊
I’m glad you were pleased with the offer. I did my best to be fair with you and to be accurate. The strength of titles you brought us was outstanding. Thanks!
I purge probably once a year, and also sell back to my local shop. I just see no reason to keep albums I know I won't be spinning & yes the small amount of $$ I get back goes right back into new vinyl.
You're not doing to bad, over the years I've probably got rid of 2500 - 3000 records and now have less than 300 LP's in my collection with some replaced with the cd equivalent because the pressing quality was so poor, I just got fed up with the hassle and now very rarely bother with vinyl
its always sad to see things go all you can hope is that they go to someone thats going to take care love them and listen to them
Hi, there. I too have done this in the last few months. Never thought I would sell part of something that is part of my life passion. The present state of inflation.... I figured why I was hanging onto things I never put on. I even sold collections I enjoyed. I still buy music but I am doing a streamlining of my collection. I did the Discogs thing... but I sold to a local record store.
I hear ya man, I did the same a while ago. But COME ON MAN, tell us how much you got!!? LOL, genuinely curious though. I went for store credit last time, just to maximize what amount I got.
I hear the record stores do not offer a fair price to resell. What is a fair price for records in good condition? I just think it is a very depressing thing to get 2 or 4 dollars for a record they will sell for 25 or 30 bucks or more.
yeah there's only one local near me that gives a decent amount for stuff. most of them give $2 to $3 and sell em for $21 or more
I bought nearly 600 LPs during the format heyday, never considered selling any of them, even after I switched to compact disc. Since the LP revival, I've actually ordered a couple vinyl LPs I had checked out of the local library and recorded onto cheap cassettes in the late 1970's. The releases I ordered of those library albums were reasonably priced, still sealed, so I bought them from the sellers, opened them, and digitized them after I got them. The albums haven't been reissued on CD, but I really liked them.
For me, it has to be something I have never really listened to or listened to once or twice. If it's something I loved at one point, it will come back around again.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. That's why I only sold albums that I had duplicates of.
When i find a "better" pressing or better condition record then the one i have. I buy it and sell the old one. Im one of those who looking for the older (first pressings if i can find them) so i upgrade pressings and condition all the time. Since i buy used stuff it is a never ending process.
I'll probably do the same thing moving forward.
To me, it's like giving up a few of your children. However, I replenish and rebought the records I love, and I am currently working on it.
Be careful. I have had experiences of selling albums I thought it would be ok to part with, only to regret it and buy them again later.
I didn't want to eventually regret selling anything, that's way I only sold albums that I had multiple copies of.
Man, I’m looking for a bunch of the albums you sold. Did you sell them to Dearborn Music?
I did
I’m pretty sure you don’t know how much “would be good for the record store” or “for a decent profit.” Any time someone says that, they 1. Don’t know what they’re talking about and 2. Still want too much for it.
Well, since I'm pretty familiar with the record store I sold them to, and know how much they sell similar records for, I think I'm a pretty good judge of what would be a good number for the store and myself. The number I had in my head must have been pretty close, since it was actually a little lower than what they offered me.
I didn't learn anything from this.
Man I wish you would have reached out on CZcams because you had several albums I would have bought off of you
