Best Place/Way To Sell My CD Collection?

Look at any rare or audiophile CD's you have and send them to me:) No actually sell those as a singular sale and as mentioned build a list and auction the rest in lots of whatever size of lot you want to deal with. I think you will do better to sell smaller lots than try to sell 800-1000 at once. And if you have many of a single artsist you may try selling those as individual lots. But you are in the right place to do so, no listing fee for music. What do have to lose except your invested time?

Many thanks for all of your thoughts, folks. Interesting comments, I expected them to have a little more value than that but not too much ($4-5 ?). Along with here, I have also thought of listing on Discogs if I were to do them individually. No way I'd sell them all for a couple hundred bucks. I'd box em all up for a rainy day at that number.

I really appreciate the comments. Think it's going to be a project.

Of course, if you've ripped them all to a server, you'd have to delete them from the server as you sell them. Given that, the value for selling them is probably less than their value as a physical back-up.

I am curious as to why thye orginal owner would have to delete them from the server upon sale. What copywrite laws would be infringed upon if I owned them at the time I burned them on the server? Not being sarcastic here, but very curious as I plan to buy a server someday. Although I would keep my collection just in case the server ever crashed.

per elizabeth, the going rate for mainstream, supertramp type cds is a buck or so, and it's probably not worth the exercise of trying to sell 'em individually. however, for more esoteric & obscure stuff (which i surmise is most of your collection), there's still a robust market on ebay, which taps in most broadly on overseas collectors. the other, less granular approach would be hawking them at a record fair (where you'd typically get more focused buyers willing to pay more of a premium). if you send me a list i'll give ya a free opinion. still haven't forgiven you for laura marling, however :)
