    well, i started thinking today that if I sold my collection I would have money in the pocket and wouldn't be soooo stressed about money. at the same time tho, i am like shit i won't be a good person to be around if i sold all my records cause i will be a miserable F*ck everyday...wondering if others felt the same way. one other question, do you think if you sold your collection it would be worth what you think it is or not?

    But only the bullshit and doubles. Need to stay lean in case I need to move. I don't know what the best place to unload the real crap is though. Goodwill/flea market?

    Bay Area People, any ideas?

    Dudes, this does not constitute selling your collection.

    This is pruning an assemblage of junk into something resembling a collection.

    Correct on both counts, but it is recession related. I'm just can't see trucking several hundred dollar bin joints halfway across the country ever again. I need to

    Sell it to Justin, but also over the hill in Santa Cruz my friend Brandon is always buying cheap stuff at The Krate. And whatever he really cant take you can bring to Logos for some money.

    yeah, Amir I'm thinking about selling my collection of DOO DOO that comes with buying collections. I bought a collection just recently when I was in Knoxville. Mostly crap but just a few 30-60 dollar disco 12's worth keeping. Purge the DOO DOO people!

    i wouldn't consider selling my collection, but with the recession i've become more focused in what i'm buying, i'm constantly asking myself is this record really good or is it just a record that is good initially but gets put away and gets dusty etc, also i'm asking for small discounts more often- sounds tacky but most dudes are willing to do it if it puts a buck in their pocket.

    im definitely pruning, im actually working on turbolister right now!
    150-200 hiphop records on wednesday?
    gonna have quite a few goodies; constant deviants competition catch speed knots, 2 different slum brothers, several frankenstein joints, third sight etc.

    Bay area heads interested in unloading rap records can holler at me. Streetlight records in san jose, i work sunday through wednesday. I buy collections and single pieces, can pay in cash, check , or trade, and am open to housecalls in some cases. 408-292-1404, ask for nate.

    As for my personal stuff, I am not thinking about selling the whole lot, even though I'm about to move. As many have stated, i'm pruning through ebay and discogs, and the occasional record show. Thinking about having some heads over for a kind of record yard sale/beer drankin saturday soon.

    I'm getting rid of everything non-African, keeping only what I can see myself using for playing out in the next few years.

    records are forever.

    I'm pruning hard right now; not because of the recession per-se, but because I want to fit my ish in a 4x4 expedit. Keep it super tight.

    If anybody needs some blazing Downtempo or Rawkus deadstock gold holler. I usually never listen to hip-hop while I'm relaxing at home and feel that is something that can go all digital.

    yeah, the thought of just keeping everything is somehow appealing but it also seems wasteful to just sit on all this stuff worth tens of thousands of dollars and not really doing anyhting with it... also if you're moving from continent to continent every couple of years, it's just too much to worry about.

    I just had myself a pretty successful $5 Per Record Sale after my purging. I advertised it right here.

    HIGHLY recommend it to anyone doing a major cleanse.

    One gentle collection purge every year does it for me. Finished my last one a few weeks ago and I gotta say it always feels like taking a shit (and we all know how priceless that feeling is).
