What to do with a large collection

I have thousands of CDs and records and am looking to get rid of most of them. i can’t possibly listen to them in my remaining years and my wife doesn’t need them. CDs, it turns out, are not very viable these days, and if you want to sell them to a dealer you can only get store credit!! And, if as in my case, the collection is 90% classical, it seems they will be impossible to unload. Since CDs are antiques these days, I can’t imagine ANYONE who would want them. The only alternative I can see is the garbage. When you consider just how much of an investment they were it’s indeed a sobering realization.
Records are indeed “in,” but how desirable are classical LP’s?

Any suggestions?

I still collect classical CDs and LPs. I find there gaps in my collection with regards to certain composers and conductors. Please contact me directly so that I can find out more about your collection.

I am not in to streaming. I still find something very special putting an LP, cleaning it with Mark Hunt brush, and then placing the cartridge on it (LOL). Even with ticks and pops, I give me goose bumps. My son is developing some interest in classical music. I want to hammer the iron while it is still hot and before he lose interest and god forbid go on to Rap music (LOL). I am hoping he will keep my jazz and classical collection.
