So just how much vinyl do YOU own?

Found this conversation just an hour ago pretty interesting and actually very much along the lines of Elizabeths reasoning.

Just visited my LRS ( good boy today , just 3 albums and 5 tapes)
Talking with the owner about his overflowing store resulted in him telling me that they have so many records he has had to rent 4 more storage units.

Then he said he is paying somebody full time 10 hours a day to sort through them and toss out all the chaffe.

Reasoning is that why should he have boxes full of stuff that will unfortunately never sell even at 50 cents when he can have boxes of $10 plus records for sale.

So he confided he had just sent a complete van full of vinyl, about 3 thousand records his guess ,straight to Goodwill with many more to follow.

Sad but true.

My mother would love all the Perry Como and Andy Williams records being tossed though!

Sounds like a plan for sure.
It is just making that start up that long hill......

discogs has barscanner functionality built in for the more modern release cataloging ...

Uber, yes I am meeting all sorts of neighbors....

on the subject of what I call “ respectfully dismantling somebody’s museum “.... yes sometimes dumpsters come into play and there are time constraints and conflicting desires...my advice is plan ahead..

on the subject of donating a collection to University, etc...again plan ahead ....
