Don't lie....Do you hoard vinyl?

Ellen is already in a divesting mode, since her momn died last fall, having already pretty much cleaned house. So it's getting harder and harder for this packrat to hide stuff. Last year I got proficient at collecting and restoring antique fountain pens. Now have 300. Anyone need gifts for graduation? Ha! Next I'll probably collect a few (dozen) pairs of SWANK cufflinks, which my Dad designed as their chief modelmaker from '48-88. Since he never wore jewelry I rarely see his craft.
Anyone wanna trade SWANK for my remaining vinyl?

I have a few thousand including 2-300 that I've never played. With my current lifestyle and my age, I will probably never get to hear most of them or rehear most of the others.

The problem is that there's no relatively easy way to get rid of them! (Yeah, I could dump them.)

the problem with vinyl is that, unless you sell on ebay, you get so little money from used record dealers that you'd have to be literally starving or broke for it to make sense to sell to them. They're basically taking advantage of people who are up against the wall: moving, no space, or simply ignorant of what their vinyl's worth. I've known 3 people in that business and their 'victory' stories (e.g."old guy comes in with a box full of original blue note etc....") make you sick. Some of these people might actually need the $ and would be well served by someone helping them sell their stuff properly! So, in the meantime I have 2 vinyl collections: the stuff I listen to (main floor, near stereo) and the stuff I may listen to before I die (but probably won't) - downstairs.
Another reason to hoard: If you're not broke, it pays to hold on to it since the collectible stuff - with the exception of the previously crazy-valued 'shaded dogs' - just keeps getting more valuable...

Elizabeth I'll drive down and pick them up, but I'm afraid you'll outlive me. FWIW there is an LP sale in Appleton this weekend. All LPs $1.00, I'm not usre if that's worth the ride for you. I'd like to hit one of those sales at State Fair Park, but I never know when they hold them.

I have about 1400 LPs and still buying. There are some that need to be tossed for quality reasons and other I should probably move because I don't listen to them. It's hard to get rid of things because who knows what I will want to listen to in the next hour, much less in the next five years!

Some things that used to get lots of play time don't get much anymore, other I didn't listen to at all, now I play regularly. You just never know how tastes will change.

So yes, oh wait, no... um what was the question again???
