"However if I need the money to fund current purchases it isn't too hard to weed a few things out. This is easier to do with CD's than it is with LP's because it's harder to sell LP's and get any money out of them."
-huh??
My experience is the opposite. Look for used CDs on ebay, people can't give them away. Recent vinyl releases are limited, one example Elliott Smith's XO LP sells on Ebay for $100+ regularly. I bought it new 4 years ago for 10 bucks. The fact the vinyl is limited new and used drives the price up. Most used music stores buy CDs at about $2 dollars each and sell for $6-8.00.
Anyway, Jsujo is asking if you sell your music (not asking about database software) I do not. Anything I have that would make it worth my time, such as Elliott Smith "XO", I want to keep and the LPs I would weed out would only bring in 6-10 bucks on ebay so it isn't worth selling. Although everything I have ever purchased was out of interest for the artist (or genre), even if it was a let down or I don't listen to it, it is part of my musical history. If you are somebody who buys LPs in bulk at the flea market to fill out your collection you may have loads of stuff you should sell. So yeah, I guess it depends.
"If you wanna find
Landslide by Fleetwood Mac you have
to know that I bought it for
someone in the fall of 1983 and
then didn't give it to them for
personal reasons."
