How to value a used CD collection?

Like anything else , what someone will give you .

A thousand for all assuming they’re in perfect condition. The most profitable way is to sell them in small lots on eBay. Or in some cases, if very collectible, rare or whatever, one at a time.

give us an update on this situation. Happy Listening!

Ironic that an audiophile mentions dial tone phones. Have any of you talked on one lately? In the hallway of my 90 year old home there is a black bakelite dial up phone from the 1940’s. We rarely use it but when you do the first thing you notice is that the sound quality is exceptional and that everything else you use for a phone sounds like crap. Even people on the other end will comment that it sounds better to them than any cell phone or cordless land line phones.

Agree with geoff. eBay is the way to go. Most sellers are getting $4-8 for typical pop/rock CDs of decent quality.

Some may think that is high but there isn’t another medium out there that presents that sort of value in music that you own.

I been been traveling for a while and haven't followed up on the transaction.  The best arrangement that I can see is if he sells 100 CD's off at a time, that I get a chance to match the dealers's offers.  They are all excellent CD's and I can peddle them off individually.
