Throwing away 1000s of records.

I have about 15000 records that I have got from old sellers or just grabbed from thrift shops. I am going through and listening to what I feel, and throwing away what I don't feel. I don't know anything about what's rare (although I doubt I have any), but if anyone is in the GA area, send me a pm.If this is the wrong forum, sorry, I am not trying to sell anything. I am an old member here, but the "send pw" function didn't work. It took like 3 days for this name to be approved.

    Old name 'rockwell', I requested after seeing post, and haven't received anything in email.

    I guess it takes a while.

    Anyway, I also just through out a bunch of old "the source" mags from like 91-98. Kind of felt funny doing that, because I am a pack rat (???), but time to clean up I guess.

    Eh.

    wish i was down your way to come and get your castaways....


    however, for the sake of all those who ARE in your neighbourhood, DON'T throw things away. Even your old Source magazines are of value to folks, so let the local strutters get on it before you dump 'em. Nice of you to open it up to everyone.....definitely a good look in your direction.

    Ah no doubt.

    I also got about 250 old rap cassettes (80s-95), and CD's I no longer want.

    Im not sayin you're lying or even that you dont have 15000, but its always been my experience that whenever someone says they have that many records, its closer to 2 or 3000

    anyways, i would love to come see this if I lived close

    Man, please give all this stuff to a thrift or something if you can't find someone to take it off your hands... I hate to see stuff like this go to waste, esp when one doesn't even know what they're getting rid of.

    Nah, throw it away/use the covers for mailing. Seriously, I'd rather not see millions of non raers and bad crap in thrifts. Just sayin.

    Let me rephrase, it's a lot of records, and a lot more than 2-3000. Military, so after our last move I didn't even open half the load. Stacked in the closets.

    I can't give an exact number, but I wish it was 2-3000, it would make my listening and picking the albums I live (via the music), much easier.










    Excuse the mess, I am cleaning and moving shit to create more space. I had a heavy bag (boxing) and about 20 other boxes in the corner prior to this photo (I just moved them today). I am right in the middle of cleaning, which is why I made the post and came here.

    He's bound to have something decent in there, but it's like a needle in a haystack. Just sell off 100 here and 100 there every few weeks. Everytime you leave your house for an errand just pile 100 records in the back seat and drop them off somewhere. But, if you don't have time like that give them to family or a thrift store like someone said above. Have you listened to half of those?

    i had to move out about 2000 records that i had stored in my parents garage. i threw a garage sale before that and made $500+ off common records that i didn't want.

    so i understand that you're pressed for time and all, but if you have about 3 hours to spare for selling a part of that huge collection, it's well worth it.
