Best Place/Way To Sell My CD Collection?

It seems that CD's are closer than ever to becoming obsolete; soon the day will come when they are no longer made. That is the day your CD colletion becomes valuable. Hold on to them or put them in the attic for your kids to discover.

After reading all these responses, which more or less indicate that you could expect to clear MAYBE $1000 if you sell as a lot, why not just keep them ?

No work, no hassle and you don't give away your collection.

Even a 1000 cds don't take up much space.

Putting stuff on eBay with the expectation of maybe $2-5 each ? It is just not worth the effort.

My 2 cents.

I would publish a list on AGON and see if music afficianados might pay $5 or $6 for some titles. The rest I would put on EBAY with a $1 or $2 reserve price. I often buy cds off of Amazon cheaper than the bidside on EBAY.

I sold a bunch of CDs to J&R Music World. I forgot how much they gave me, but it was probably a couple of bucks each and it was an easy sale.

Guys, thanks so much for all of your thoughts, experience
etc. Sorry that I have not responded sooner, been in the
midst of a troubling time that has kept me away. I lost my
dog Elvis yesterday. He'd been very ill. Nothing means more
to me than my dog's. Not my gear, music, wife (sorry
hon)...nothing. That makes this so very hard, I'm sure there
are some of you that understand this. Anyway, that is part
of what led up to this as I thought it was a decent way to
raise some cash to cover some of the related expense. I did
not want to get into selling off my system but sure would be
fine losing the discs.

Lot's of great comments. Maplegrovemusic in particular given
the extent of his experience, but really all of the input is
helpful. I think as I get my head back together I may test
the Ebay waters. I also need to compile a list for those who
did inquire about the lot. Without a list it is impossible
to explain.

Vicks7 - there are not too many jazz albums and no classical
so this may not be for you. I'd guess maybe 50 jazz titles
if that.

Loomis - C'mon man! Seriously, give her another chance. The
chick is brilliant:) In fact, I recently hooked my DTV box u
to the web so I could watch YouTube on my big boy rig. There
is a full Laura Marling concert on YouTube with good sound
and video. I loved it!

A special thanks to Madfloyd and Jax2 for all your support
lately. Just shows how this forum/hobby can be a much bigger
part of life than just our gear.
