Old CDs and records

I just came to the very belated realization that my many years’ collection of thousands of CDs  and (most likely) records are probably extinct and hence worthless. Unless I go through the arduous task of cataloguing each and every disc for resale, the mass collection is just so much junk. 
I could donate the collection.  But, at this point, does anyone want antiquated technology when streaming is so easy and prevalent. 
Anyone have any ideas?

Do you have record stores within a reasonable distance of your home? If so take about 25 examples of a mix of your vinyl stash. Some businesses will pick and choose. Some will make an offer for the entire lot. If you find a good match for you then bring the bulk to them. You might be surprised at what they'll fetch for such an easy liquidation.

A typical CD is worth at least a dollar! If it is converted to a hard drive file it is worth ZERO!

This post is a joke right?? You do realize how much lp’s are fetching nowadays? Cd is gaining traction and sales are on the upswing. Some cds are fetching some pretty good coin now as well. Unless your collection is trashed, then I’d say you own something with tangible value. No streaming anything can compare to a well recorded lp played on quality equipment, same goes for cd...there, I Said it....go look and see what Tom at Better Records is getting for some of his records...😳
