Selling Your Vinyl Collection

I picked the closest option to my situ...

4. Iv currently been reducing my collection, and may let them all go?

I've sold 1 so far: Asmo - Jam The Dance (spare copy) to Tag

Getting there slowly like

Of late i have seriously been considering selling mine

I hardly ever spin em anymore & it seems a waste to have them just sat gathering dust.

Although saying & doing are very different things, its the 'i wish i had never got rid of them' feeling afterwards that i would dread

Been slowly selling some bits so I'm down to under 4000 now (will be listing loads more on discogs - see under my sig) and will eventually end up keeping the minimum which will be 1000 tunes I cannot live without

Reducing slowly so it's quality over quantity - I like doing a mad purge every now & then - it's quite theraputic & you know that every tune on the rack is a special beast - could/would never ever get shot of a tune that means summat to me...

I've only got about 500 and am always looking for more stuff/ small collections. so If any of you 'purgers' have a load of stuff you think I might like on a listen/sale or return basis, giz a shout

not owrht me selling em, will never get back what i have payed for em

definitely reducing my collection...got a load going to htfr in the next few days

Like Pauly, im currently reducing my collection, n will keep the ones i want.

Id never sell to htfr due to the prices they give and then sell on for a huge profit pefer to sell on e bay discogs or musicstack at least then u get the right price for ya tunes

You'd be surprised what they offer for some quite ordinary tunes tbh...£3 and £4..when you'd struggle to get £2 on ebay

Ive got rid of quite a few over the last 2 years , but only to fund other purchases

I would quite happily swap all my trance and hard house from 97 - 2000 for some older stuff

Any takers

Mine are being melted down to produce a vinyl coffin.

Im the same, loads of late 90's trance and progressive stuff that I would never play again would happily be swopped for some of the old stuff.

Although TBH I can't seem to part with tunes when It comes to the crunch...Its a habit I can't break

I'm currently selling off double etc - but I don't think I'd sell of my core collection unless I could do it in one shot - and Id want some good money for it too (so I guess it ain't gonna happen )

Definately mate
Am back from hols in a week, so will remind ya when I get back!

I've voted no way, because there are some tunes that I will never get rid of. I have a lot of stuff I would part with though, lots of doubles and as others have mentioned some Hard House shite and mailing list junk that I'd like to see the back of! The problem is that the stuff I don't want, no-one else wants either :S Need to find a hard house fan that's just won a fortune on the lottery...

What a freaky coincedence. I have been seriously thinking about it for a number of reasons.

1, i live in a mates house and will probably be looking to move out in around a years time. I really will struggle to find space in a new house for them.

2, i have a lot of money tied up in them which would be better used for a deposit for a house when the time comes

3, i hardly ever play them. i always wanted to try take it further after having a few gigs playing out and playing on the radio but i have struggled to dedicate the time thats needed to make any vast improvements due to other commitments etc. They are no just in boxes under my decks collecting dust and really would benefiit from getting a new home.

I have collected since 2004 but spent a huge amount of time and money buying vinyl. A few years ago i would have been like "no way am i selling them" but things change like your priorities , responsibilities etc and so now i am looking at my situation and thinking will i really miss them, the honest answer is no.

My problem is when i come to sell them i have no list as of yet and i really dont want to sell them individually on ebay or oggs because of the hassle so ultimately i know that will effect the amount of money i can expect to recoup.

I suppose i need to have a good think and decide soon cause time is running out.
