selling your record collection
Anyone ever done it?
I think i'm going to put it up for bids. A fair amount of punk/ska/raggae/oi and some other shit mixed in for good measure. It represents my life of
buying music but I haven't listened to any of it in so long that it's obsolete.
Question...what is your life's collection worth to you?

It's hard to put a price on it, because certain pieces hold great sentimental value. I've sold off most of what I didn't HAVE to keep. You'll have
to pry my Sheer Terror stuff out of my cold, dead hands for example, but over the years I've looked through my records and come to the conclusion that
certain records didn't mean much to me and I sold them. A couple I wanted to keep but sold because they were valuable and I needed money for bills.
But a record collections value is determined by the market for them. Certain records I hold in high regard others might consider crappy, and would
bid on that reasoning. Best thing to do is search completed auctions on ebay and see what copies went for.

Thanks. I'm not sentimental at all as I've got a great memory. I hope to die old but with nothing. I always thought that one day i'd have a whole
record shelf full of stuff that I had recorded. It would kind of sum up what my life was about but I don't even keep the stuff that I've recorded so
that went out the window.
It's hard for me to imagine what the 17 year old Jonny would have done to the 28 year old Jonny if he had known what I was contemplating.

Don't do it. I wish I had never sold my albums. One of my few regrets.
Well, its this place where nobody works, and the pigs don\'t give you any shit. Everyone smokes weed and gets drunk all day. Its a place where
cunts like me and you can truly take it easy and relax. Know what I mean?

I still have all my LPs going back to thrash and hair metal I bought in the 80's and ALL the KISS records I collected as a kid. I considered selling
some of the stuff a few years ago, but all the people I talked to/stores I went to wanted to pay literally nothing. I never really gave eBay much
thought, but overall I think I'm happy that I still have them.
I did trade a really big collection of picture sleeve 45s mostly of late 80's rock and pop and I'm sorry about that. Lots of Guns & Roses, Def
Leopard, some Rob Bass, DJ Jazzy Jeff... I wish I still had those.
I wish I hadnt given away all the old shirts that I gave away becauase those are probably worth more than my records!

Or unless you have SICK OF IT ALL- blood sweat and no tears or SICK OF IT ALL - JUST LOOK AROUND on vinyl. Then I will buy them. 
Each aspect of the soul has it's own part to play, but the ideal is harmonious agreement with reason and control.

i have sold many of my 'non-essential' records.
still have several hundred from my favorite bands and a few sentimental ones.
on a related note, a buddy of mine who is a dj was up from dc last week for a few days and fixed my old direct drive turntable for me. once i hook up
my old receiver, it'll be the first time listening to my records in nine, no... ten friggin years.
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.
