I have same dilemma, deal with hassle of cataloging and pricing individual cd's and vinyl or selling in bulk. For the vinyl I've done a bit of cataloging and discovered a few highly valuable recordings, would hate to let those go for pennies on the dollar. The bulk buyers know this, convenience has a cost. My cd's are all ripped so less of a challenge to sell these, I have sold in batches of like 20 on ebay, valued them individually and priced accordingly with some discount for the convenience of batch sale.
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?
