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?

Have you checked the very lively used CD market on Amazon and Discogs lately?

There are thousands of classical CDs commanding considerable prices.  It does depend on composer, composition, performers, label, but a lot of repertoire, especially the more out-of-the-way stuff, is highly desirable.

Now, yes, selling them individually requires lots of work, if that's what you really want to do.  My 1300 or so are staying put.

 

The owner of a vinyl store thinks that CD sales are on the rise due their pricing relative to LP's.  What goes around comes around.

The post was to excite and agitate the membership that still enjoy CD and Record formats.

Pure and simple.
 

Just go throw your crap CD and Vinyl away.  

Jerryg123,

I’m sorry if I excited and agitated you. 
That was CERTAINLY NOT my intention.

twoleftears,

You’re absolutely right. I would have to put in a lot of work to catalog my 3000+ CDs and 2000+ records. The best solution would probably be to examine them all and select the ones I consider most valuable.
