I certainly don't invest because I never intend to sell. I have about 3,000 LP's that I started buying in the early '70's. I woke up 40 years later with what one might call a collection. An accumulation would be more accurate. Over the years, I just bought what I liked with no preconceived plan. I have no holes in my accumulation. I never set out to own "x" amount of any particular artist or a complete set of any artist.
If Rhapsody and Pandora music services along with the SqeezeBox had been around when I started, no way would I own that many LP's along with over 1,000 cd's. For sure, we are the last generation where large numbers of us will own large numbers of hard copy music. The day is fast approaching where your 10,000+ collection will be kept in a device the size of a shoebox.
