What's Worth More on the Open Market - Your Records or Your Audio Gear

Have anyone of you actually calculated this ?

What's your personal ratio ?

I have not looked into this in any detail, and have if anything, only recently.....

Told family members (not my wife) 8^0..........something along the lines of ........." this piece of equipment is worth ......this (xxxx) ......." 

I have, told all family members that they could probably start an Ebay Record Selling Career; if their own career doesn't pan out.... with what is contained in the house. I don't think they are buying this idea ......right now.

This has me a little concerned.  

I assume the good records will only go up in value.  

Some gear I own, I believe is in this same state of fluctuating upward values.

Interested in your opinions, and findings on the subject.    Have you crossed this bridge yet ?

This thread reminds me of just another good reason to have record storage like the Per Madsen, which I have. Easy to move/around.

Don’t think I haven’t considered that scenario Chris! The top left cube contains (amongst others) The Animals, The Band, Count Basie, The Beach Boys, The Beatles, Chuck Berry, The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band, T Bone Burnett, The Byrds, Johnny and Rosanne Cash, Carlene Carter, Patsy Cline, Ry Cooder albums. The one under it Rodney Crowell, Dylan, Dave Edmunds, The Everly Brothers, The Flamin’ Groovies, Fleetwood Mac, Aretha Franklin, Merle Haggard, Emmylou Harris, Dan Hicks, Chris Hillman.
Cube 1 or 2 is like choosing between your two kids!


Damn.... very impressive Eric.
Well, as someone whose business career involved disaster recovery, business continuity; I am embarrassed to admit, that I am ill prepared "in mind" of what to grab. As of right now.

Do you see Larry5729.....Do you see what all that damn music streaming does to one’s mind ?

In this type of event - I am probably trying to catch our Savannah Cat - good luck to me with that unless she’s asleep. She does like it hot though and sleeps on the satellite receiver.

I am trying to picture Slaw frantically wheeling out those Per Madsen massive record storage columns on wheels.... onto the street. He must have a walk out.

Chris,

No walk-out, but I still have the strength to lift a fully loaded rack.

Now, how I'd feel the next day??????

Another thought, I bet I'd have an easier time being reimbursed for my gear than my lps.

"...and will have no idea why anyone would possess thousands of pounds of discs that take up so much space."
I am already wondering, and I do own some.
