Please do and you’ll get a discount. All my other SP stuff has sold, I think.

What % of your collection are you selling?

On top of scot’s question, are you selling more than you are buying?

I’m not sure yet. I was going through discogs earlier and I think there is possibly another 100 that could go up or more. So maybe 15-20%

I'll be buying that next paycheck then! 😁

At this point, yes. I’m trying to be more intentional with what comes in. I’m not pre-ordering blind anymore for special variants or just albums I might like or if there is a deal. If it’s a fave artist that is consistent, that’s different.

Though as I am typing, I am staring at 5 new Janet Jackson records that finally showed up.

So in short, I want a leaner collection that I could look at any record and want to listen to it at any time and all the records will be listened to more regularly. Because records are for listening, not sitting on a shelf taking up space or as an investment.

That concludes my Ted Talk. Thank you.

I felt the same way when I started seeking stuff for the move, in glad people who would give the vinyl a good listen get a chance to cherish the record rather then having it sit on my shelf collecting dust

Currently doing the same! Quality beats quantity all day.

I’d like some tips on getting rid of records that have low price value but high enough sentimental value you can’t just give them away.

I think it depends on the type of sentimental value. I’m unloading some of the records I bought in the first few years of collecting that are real finds now. Some don’t get much money but they were the foundation of my collection. I remember the day I found them and my feelings and now that’s good enough for me as they go out the door.
