Would treated CD's or OOP's-hold its value later?

Hi all,
Please give me some guidance here. Before I go and purchase a German cutter that shaves the sides of the cd polymer off to better the sound. Or all these green markers that you outline the CD with- Would they decrease or increase the value if ever they were to be sold later on in life. i am talking about CD's that are quoted on todays market at US$50 and above. would you buy these or shun away and get a non treated one if you had the option?

I suggest you do what I do: make copies on CD-R of the discs you want to treat, and do all the tweaking on the CD-R's.. Good CD-R's are cheap these days, and often a copy sounds better than the original does (if you use quality media and burn them with care).

Personally, I'd never do anything to an original CD except cleaning it. To answer your question: no, I would not want to buy a "treated" CD at all!

Nevillekapadia, I know what you mean.. I tend to make copies of my most loved records, not all I listen to since that would take forever as you suggest. :) I basically listen to the originals first, if it turns out I really like them I take the trouble to make a copy and then I can start tweaking the copy. It's good fun, and doesn't take too much time.

Enjoy the music!
