Well Elizabeth,that must be one special music store.I mean you sold them thousands of lps.They Never buy back at more than a few dollars at most.Unless you have Beatles in wrapped and Mint condition ,First issues.I have sold off my collection a few years ago.2,000 albums only got about $2700 back...years ago we were told to take the plastic off the albums .So i did.But i cleaned my albums and treated every album like gold lol.We cds came out at first i didnt buy them .Then i got a great Onkyo top of line cd player sent well over $700 in like 1990.i have bought back about 500 alot of first issues and imports mostly Rock.i do have like 500 classical,jazz and soundtracks plus 3000 cds ,alot of box sets they are cheat now...but prices are going up and 500 cassettes and R to Reels.So it was good to weed out ...now, I have to weed out some of my Stereo equipment n speakers which are taking over big time.But there are people on this site and you want top dollar for the Carpenters Lps.....come on people.
Time to weed the LPs.... (choosing stuff to dump)
I am in the process (again, every few years) of weeding the Rock LPs. Going through newer stuff to decide to sell to my fav. record store, or keep.
I do this every few years to thin out the collection gradually. Eight years ago I did a major cull removing 6,000 LPs of 12,000 to move. Over the last six years I have cut that down to 4,500 (and probably buying 500 of those during that time).For all sorts of reasons it is a good project. Get rid of cobweb covered music I have no use for, (and maybe someone else wants) Frees up a small amount of cash to waste on more Stereo junk.The main thing is the collection gets better, more just what I really like.Anyone else clear out the junk now and then?(For the question already forming... and no I will not sell them here. I have bought tons of stuff at my fav. record store, I like them, and sell all my records to them. LOL)
