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?

Log them in Discogs and share list as collection. Selling individually is a job in itself.

Did you ask your local Friends of the Library org.? They often have book and music sales to raise money.  This has nothing to do with the library collection. 

Various charities have book/music sales. Independent radio stations, too. 

 

 

Even if you could take anything with you, your arms would be so stiff, you could not get them into your pockets.
