I had a very interesting weekend. I happened to see an ad on Craigslist looking to sell 200+ (closer to 250) cd's for 20.00. Figuring if I found three jems in the lot, it would be worth it so I contacted the guy. He turned out to be selling them for a daughter, they were the bf who moved out and stuck her with the rent so she was looking to recoup some of the money. He was a little gruff when I asked if he knew any of the artists so could send me pics. Conversation went no where, as he was 85 and didn't have time to assist...., pretty much assumed that was the end of that. Friday night, he called to tell me he would be passing by where I lived and would drop them off, if I still was interested. I said sure and right on time he pulled up and after a fast look, I took the lot (again...20.00, what the heck)

Well, spent the weekend ripping the albums, they run the gamut from jazz, to classic rock, to folk, country, you name it. Hip-Hop and rap got tossed (kept the cases), listened to different tracks as I went along, but see I have many weekends going through the lot. In total, maybe 5 singers, bands that I have heard of and a lot of bands in that sweet spot (70-80). Even kept some Celtic music after trying a track or two, figuring what the heck. Even found one SACD Celtic, can't wait to put that on my player.

Have been looking for more people selling off large number of cd's, I am hoping lighting can strike twice...
