A guy at work didn't want his albums anymore, I happily volunteered to haul them off for him. I estimate there were about 250 or so. Out of that lot I have 60 that are either duplicates or what I already have or non-interest. I have a short stack of stuff I'm not really familiar with and plan to listen to before I make up my mind what to do with it. Maybe 10 or so are vinyl duplicates of stuff I have on CD that I just want to see what the vinyl version sounds like. Blood Sweat & Tears comes to mind as one.
I got some Dead, Dylan, Beatles, most of which I had no interest in buying. After a listen, I'll have to ask myself if I will ever put it on again. If not, they will go too.
Things I don't keep, I usually ship off to a record store in Kansas who sells it on consignment. Then when I get credit built up I buy things I want. Shipping costs eat into this some but because this is a pretty large town, most used record stores already have a lot of main titles and don't pay much if interested at all. Most of the vinyl I looked at in this collection was in pretty good shape but he was rough on the covers. I don't know how much this effects resale.
Anyway, I should have plenty of stuff to listen to, or feed my habit, through the winter. You know how it is when you have a large collection but can't think of anything you want to listen to, so you go buy something new.
