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?

The problem is Cds in general are nearing 'worthless'.
Now 'special' Cds such as SACD, and MFSL etc have value.
If you look at Amazon and see your Cds are selling used as low as $0.01 then you KNOW your Cds are not going to bring much money.

Now it all depends on finding a buyer.
So A thousand Cds should bring you between $200. and $2,000.
depending on the specific music, the specialty, and who is offering.
Now I have local dealers who will buy CDs for a fair price. A buck to two bucks each.
That is really a spectacularly good price for selling in bulk.
If you took your CDs to Half Price Books.. They would offer you the $200. or LESS.
Now if your 1,000 CDs are all Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs.. And rare DCC discs.. Then you might get some real money from the right buyer.

If your collection is Supertramp, The Police, And Billy Joel, and all those other common albums... it is worthless.
Classical is woth less. Jazz a little more.
Selling in bulk means very little money is coming your way.
Elizabeth's response is spot on. I have a friend who recently disposed of 1,000 garden variety Blues cds (no MFSL or DCC). A locally well known used cd and vinyl shop owner declined to acquire the collection because it was just too many for him to be interested; however, the shop owner put my friend in touch with an individual collector who ended up buying the collection for $1500, which was a very good outcome for my friend! My friend and I both expected he'd get $1,000 at best.
