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

You can donate to thrift stores and get tax deductions. We should reserve the vinyls and pass them on. If no body wants them then it's their loss.

I do not. I have only 46 ft. of LPs which includes mine, my deceased friend, my father and my wife's father. I do not. They are 1928 to the present re-issues and new ones like Tom Waits. I do not. Most of my duplicates were taken by my daughter. My friends get them for Christmas, and yes they do have tables. So I have only a dozen. I do not. I buy only from A Classical Record (Web site with a store-- if you want to call it that-- in Manhattan), Accoustic Sounds, Music Direct, thrift stores, and a handful of Salt Lake City shops. No more than fifty a year, except when the University of Utah radio station decided that playing Car Talk seven times a week was more important than being a teaching univeristy, so they killed the music department. And I bought 5 boxes and cancelled my donation. But none of that is hoarding. But I like the idea...

This is interesting stuff. I just got back into vinyl and the other day my girlfriend let me have a box of LPs that used to belong to her ex-boyfriend. Nice, huh? There were about 100 of them and about 25 were to my liking and were in good condition. I did not care for the rest so I tried to give them away and even take them to a few pawn shops and no one wanted them. I feel terrible just throwing them out.

It is too bad that there isn't a website of FREE stuff where you could give stuff away or trade for other things that are useful, but maybe have no intrinsic, resaleable value.
