ZoeG Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Ive over 500 albums and I can't bear to just chuck them out (haven't played them in years and never will again I guess). What do people do? Charity or bin or sell or keep?

kford Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Amazon Market Place. Punitive fees though. Trouble is, CDs are over now. Lots of new cars don't even have a CD player in.

StraferJack Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 like my old vinyl, I'll be boxing my cd's up and keeping them. They are more than pieces of plastic which convey music to a speaker. I remember where I bought these things - why I bought them - who I bought them forNone of it means a sack of beans beyond nostalgia - but when I flick through them in years to come I'll be glad I kept them Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/48790-what-do-you-do-with-your-old-cd-collection/#findComment-779737 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeckhamRose Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I still play mine. Honest I do. I have yards and yards of albums. See? Yards. Not Meters. Yards of vinyl. Soon no-one will know what any of that means.

Sazzle30 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 CDs are becoming collectible like vinyl. A friend of mine deals in music memorabilia and makes a sizeable amount on buying and selling CDs. Might be worth finding a dealer and seeing if you have anything they'd be interested in. I personally have kept all mine as they cost me a fortune as a teenager ( remember when a cd could cost ?20!) and they remind me of my youth Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/48790-what-do-you-do-with-your-old-cd-collection/#findComment-779793 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrote:-------------------------------------------------------> Mine are in a box in the loft with my> Vinyl...exactly the same reasons as SJWhatever you do do not store vinyl in a loft, or garage, unless you have a converted loft. If you store them in either, you end up with albums covered in dust, dirt, heat,and they can be got at by mice or any other kind of pest, they can be destroyed by damp pr moisture that can easily get into a garage or a roof. During my many years as a record dealer I visited many people who had stored their precious vinyl in lofts and garages, only to find that after years of being tucked away, the covers had been eaten, ruined, by dust and dirt, records warped by the heat caused by sunlight on a roof and worth zilch.

Otta Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Since becoming a parent, most of my CDs have been totally trashed, so I binned most when I moved house this year.It's the songs on them that give me the memories, not the actual object.

Chloe_ Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I copied music from CD-s onto a hard drive, and then put them into a box. It was a long time ago I played music from them.

jctg Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Some CDs/vinyl are worth selling on eBay. Otherwise, take to Music & Video Exchange. In general, CDs aren't worth much at all unless they're out-of-print and therefore collectible. Vinyl collectibility depends on condition as well.

Annasfield Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 For Christmas in 1997 my Dad bought me the Verve, Urban Hymns CD. He tucked the receipt in the sleeve in case I wanted to change it. It was ?17.99! Can't get over how much they were.

Can't get over how much they were.I remember being at a house party in Liverpool where that album was playing, and it was cool. Then it finished. Then it started again. This happened for the whole night, and I have never listened to that album since.Can't believe it was ?17.99, I don't remember spending that much on CDs, but I guess I must have.
