the problem with vinyl is that, unless you sell on ebay, you get so little money from used record dealers that you'd have to be literally starving or broke for it to make sense to sell to them. They're basically taking advantage of people who are up against the wall: moving, no space, or simply ignorant of what their vinyl's worth. I've known 3 people in that business and their 'victory' stories (e.g."old guy comes in with a box full of original blue note etc....") make you sick. Some of these people might actually need the $ and would be well served by someone helping them sell their stuff properly! So, in the meantime I have 2 vinyl collections: the stuff I listen to (main floor, near stereo) and the stuff I may listen to before I die (but probably won't) - downstairs.
Another reason to hoard: If you're not broke, it pays to hold on to it since the collectible stuff - with the exception of the previously crazy-valued 'shaded dogs' - just keeps getting more valuable...
