Storage is a major issue in my house too. I have way too much crap that's accumulated over the years, stuff you've been given (obviously no RR comps in there) stuff you buy cos it's cheap and stuff you bought thinking it would be good but sadly no. And the problem is since I've been hanging around here I think I acquire more now than ever before.

If I'm brutally honest I could weed out 75% of my collection as played it once or twice quite like it but would I miss it if it went? - of course I wouldn't admit that to the wife. I do keep just about all my comps and copies in folders but they number about 25 or so now and this weekend I'm out on the hunt for some more bookcases.

I have offloaded a number of CD's in the past, some I've regretted, but it goes against the grain with me to virtually give something away I've paid good money for. Maybe the answer is to like you've done box some up and store them away, it might be nice in a year or so to revisit them. Of course the only solution is to buy/receive less but we all know that isn't going to happen, that's why we are all here.

Cheers
Mike
