Mine was mainly because of music magpie, the belief that CDs are worthless whereas who knows with vinyl, some of it will be hard to shift but some of it will be worth a bit, been a while since I checked but I've got a couple of libertines vinyls that were worth £100 each at one point My big regret is that when I was at uni in the mid 00s I used to go in to HMV every Monday and buy the latest 7" records, had loads of Arctic monkeys, bloc party, white stripes etc usually for around 99p but I sold them all a couple of years later, Kate Nash foundations double disc gatefold cost me £2 and I sold it for about £30, I got excited by the profit and sold too many Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted May 3, 2021 Moderator Share Posted May 3, 2021 I've valued my vinyl at around the £15K mark (using median market price) right now, might start adding the Cds to the collection in Discogs tomorrow as I keep thinking CDs as relatively valueless then keep finding ones in the collection that really are worth a bit. I was thinking they might only add £2k to the value because of the sheer amount of them but that might move upwards now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The interesting thing about CDs would be the market to buy them I had several Japanese editions* which I thought might be worth something but you need a buyer * my basic understanding is that bands don't release singles in Japan so what often happens is they release special editions of the album with the b sides included as bonus tracks I think I went through a stage of buying more than 1 version of each album, bloc party a weekend in the city I had the standard, 2 special editions, the Japanese edition which had 2 extra songs, the American edition which had 2 other additional songs and then the reissue on which they added flux, and of course the vinyl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit a faff to set up but its just a global marketplace for vinyl and CDs. If you've got the time to dedicate to selling them then cutting out the middle man has to be the way to go. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(although of course it says that on my bio!) I was hired in the orchestra and she was in the booth. But I did run into her in the hallway and I told her how much I liked the Chernobyl soundtrack and we chatted for a few. Very cool girl! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had about 4,000 opera and classical vinyl records (total number of actual discs probably 12,000?) - couldn't give them away even to musicians. There's an Argentinian entrepreneur who is buying up vinyl around the world and shipping it all to a warehouse down there. His rep offered me $750 for the lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I just checked, he's Brazilian, owns a bus company. He likes music but he's become obsessed with how many records he can own.

It's Your Round Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 When I moved up north and decided to try being an adult, I sold my Technics but brought my vinyl with me. It sat collecting dust for 7 or 8 years until I realised I was too old to be getting decks again. When I decorated, I decided they had to go and ended up throwing them all in a skip at the tip. About 600 records, all gone. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I recognised some of her music from somewhere. The other two - one was a No (the more "Jazzy" one from Turkey) and the other a "maybe I need to listen to some more, but it's not feeling like I'm going to like it enough to buy" (the Korean musician). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, it was house, trance, hard house, some speed garage etc... The 80’s pop music is still here, safe and sound. I can record a mix for you if you like?

I've not seen either of them. It does remind me though, maybe wrong thread, maybe better in the TTPYO thread, but soundtracks or background music. Often I'll hear something and thing "I know that, what is it" and usually it settles in my mind and I work it out. Sometimes though it drives me nuts or days or even weeks. The one that did it the most was "American Dream" by Jakatta. Tormented me for ages before it popped into m'noggin. They used it on loads of telly beds. I guarantee loads of people will recognise it if they hear it...but almost none will remember where from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
