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 dont listen as much as i would like to...still on the weekends I manage to spend 2-3 hours listening, which sometimes developes into an all day affair...depends on what I have going...I dont have kids, so I have a good amount of free time.
I find it interesting nearly everyone has 100's or 1000's of lps they dont listen to at all. If you dont listen to them, why have them? Would you sell or donate the ones not listened to? If not, does it make you a "collector?"
Tpreaves - I bet that's a familiar story. I too sold off some lps before I made the decision lps are what I want.
