How many LP's do you own? How long did it take?


I started to collect vinyl in the late 80's, after it was demonstrated to me (to my ears) that vinyl sounded better than cds. I was fortunate at the time that people were dumping their vinyl collections. I was able to buy great LP's in mint condiiton for .10 cents each or so at garage sales...My have things hve changed. The vast majority of LPs I buy now are new and cost between $14 to $50 bucks each. Used LP'P's can go for more if its rare. So, how many LP's do you own and how long did it take you to amass your collection? I currently have about 2000 LPs.

I started buying Lp's in the mid 50's.
It was fun in the old days to shop for new records at the many stores in New York City.So it was easy to own about 3000.
With the economy as it is I had to sell about 2,000 privately.
If the economy doesn't improve I may have to sell half of the treasures that I have kept.
Many of these have become Collector Items,although I never thought of them as such.To me it was always the music and the joy I felt by just listening.
