Best Option To Liquidate CD Collection


The process to rip my cd collection to hard drives is almost
complete. Now I want to sell the entire collection of appx.
800 discs. A nice mix of genres, some originals, some remasters, a few box sets, some with dvds
Has anyone had good success doing this in bulk? Of course
pricing is always the sticking point.
Amazon apparently has a plan to warehouse the discs and ship for you. Anyone tried that?

To answer your question, the amount you'll gain from selling your collection is directly proportional to the amount of work you put in selling it. If you want to sell in bulk you're not going to maximize your return. Why would anyone pay you top dollar if they have to turn around and do the work to sell them individually? Selling your cd collection is no different form selling any other category of collectible. It's a pain in the rump to list and sell each cd on Ebay or Amazon, but it's the only way you're going to get more than pennies on the dollar. I've known several individuals trying to sell their music collections and the results are similar. Classical is hard to sell, jazz a little less so, and rock/popular sells the easiest (unless it's Three Dog Night or Barry Manilow etc.) In the end, everyone I've known said it was a lot of work to try and get a decent return.
