I paired my collection down from about 15k records to just under 2K. The ones that are left are the usual collector pieces. I think now quality vs quantity. I know of a local collector who has just over 100K records, unfortunately he probably has no more than 50-100 that are collector pieces . The rest just take up a ton of space! Tons of quantity..and no quality. Lots of very large collections are like this IME.
What's Worth More on the Open Market - Your Records or Your Audio Gear
Have anyone of you actually calculated this ?
What's your personal ratio ?
I have not looked into this in any detail, and have if anything, only recently.....
Told family members (not my wife) 8^0..........something along the lines of ........." this piece of equipment is worth ......this (xxxx) ......."
I have, told all family members that they could probably start an Ebay Record Selling Career; if their own career doesn't pan out.... with what is contained in the house. I don't think they are buying this idea ......right now.
This has me a little concerned.
I assume the good records will only go up in value.
Some gear I own, I believe is in this same state of fluctuating upward values.
Interested in your opinions, and findings on the subject. Have you crossed this bridge yet ?
