Cd's to make a come back in the future?

Cd's to make a come back in the future?
My cd collection is probably only valuable musically to me. I mean how much could I get for 300 goth cd's or 200 opera's? I've been verbally threatened  from going weekend thrift store pilgrimage shopping..........Only time will tell....... 
My rankings of some classical violin music in high resolution
