What to do with 1,200 CDs I don't need

what is the purpose of a stereo system ?
Jond, I wasn't implying that you thought there were NOT different levels of sound. I'm saying your reduction of the two hobbies: that, "...the basic proposition is still simple." "...at the end of the day both systems are simply allowing yoj to li... 
what is the purpose of a stereo system ?
Jond, that's like saying I buy a Ferrari to get from Point A to Point B that's it. Nothing more and nothing less. There's a LOT more to it than that. 
will the VAC 30/30 sound ok with VSA DB-99's

OK, what's the protocol?
OK, here's what happened. I quoted a package of CDs to Singapore. USPS website quoted $20 for parcel post. Today, PO lady charged me parcel envelope rate (because of dimensions and weight) of $12.95. Not lots of money to me but initially I thought... 
OK, what's the protocol?
"Your underestimation, and eating of shipping costs in the past, does not mean diddly to your buyer who is being asked to pay more than he/she should."No, but, it will influence my personal shipping policy formulations. If I'm willing to refund, I... 
OK, what's the protocol?
Good advice from everyone thanx. After further thought, I'm still haven't come to conclusion but here's $.02 to my own post. I have woefully underestimated shipping many times in the past and have just eaten it. I know I have over paid for shippin...
