Best Place/Way To Sell My CD Collection?



Sorry if this is a little off topic for this forum but I'm about to sell my CD collection, roughly 1000 CD's, and I'm looking for input on the best way to take this task on. I'm guessing many of you have either done this already or considered it, any thoughts? I'd prefer to do it as a lot rather than one/two at a time, seem doable?

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.
The only problem with dogs is that they don't live long enough. There is a lot to be said for unconditional love. Sorry for your loss.
Sincere regrets and sympathy on your loss. In so many ways they are superior creatures to us. We've experienced our own losses in that regard. We understand. Hope your time of grief passes quickly. For us, it has been uncanny how much and in how many ways our next furry beast has exhibited the traits and behaviors of our earlier companion. When you are ready....

Oh, on the topic of your CDs? f'em all...just keep 'em (as some have suggested) until CDs become like vinyl. We aren't evolving you know...more devolving. "We are not men, we are Devo". Very much have appreciated your very informed, non-mainstream music recommendations.
PS- Apologies, Richard. I didn't read carefully enough to realize you were thinking about selling the CDs to cover expenses related to Elvis. Think you've gotten some decent advice on the plus side in that regard. Hope things work out very well for you.

Peace.
