Old CDs and records

Most public libraries lend CDs and therefore accept donations of used CDs. In my experience, the library especially appreciated donations of classical and jazz music.

A library won’t value your CDs for charitable donation purposes, but ItsDeductible will provide a generic value. Thus, under the right circumstances, you can turn your unwanted CDs into a tax deduction. But even without a tax deduction, you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing that your music is widely available.

Good luck!

Have you checked the very lively used CD market on Amazon and Discogs lately?

There are thousands of classical CDs commanding considerable prices.  It does depend on composer, composition, performers, label, but a lot of repertoire, especially the more out-of-the-way stuff, is highly desirable.

Now, yes, selling them individually requires lots of work, if that's what you really want to do.  My 1300 or so are staying put.

The owner of a vinyl store thinks that CD sales are on the rise due their pricing relative to LP's.  What goes around comes around.

The post was to excite and agitate the membership that still enjoy CD and Record formats.

Pure and simple.
 

Just go throw your crap CD and Vinyl away.  

Jerryg123,

I’m sorry if I excited and agitated you. 
That was CERTAINLY NOT my intention.

twoleftears,

You’re absolutely right. I would have to put in a lot of work to catalog my 3000+ CDs and 2000+ records. The best solution would probably be to examine them all and select the ones I consider most valuable.
