I was thinking about the same thing. Spring cleaning! How about getting/sharing a table at your next local record show to try and sell off the tepid $7-$15 crate fillers. Has anybody ever done that?
the big qestion is the volt/stax joints. anyone got a good filter idea for those?
Well, what kind of music do you like to listen to? Seriously. Sometimes you go back and play an LP and realize that your tates have changed. That's why MC Hammer had a lock on used CD stores in the late 90s. That's why all these bullshit Modern LPs will be soon be clogging specialty stores.
how come i can't liquidate hip hop records?!? Besides the fact that they are in an economic slump right now, I really don't need doubles of the humpty dance, but i can't bring myself to get rid of them. i have some fear that the revolution will come and i'll need tangible music to play. That, and i bought a lot of that stuff when it came out, so i'd really like my kids to enjoy it one day. Really been considering another big purge tho. it feels pretty good to get rid of all that weight.
the only doubles of rap stuff i kept was sealed LPs or 12s. like the Masta Ace platinum vinyl. one open and one sealed. Show/AG goodfellas LP is the same. i never listen to them much but its nice to have sealed copies of stuff.
i purged all my funk because i got tired of the sound. it was too fast for me in my old age. unless it had a killer soul flip i dumped it.
i keep my gospel only because i dont see a lot of it here in the bay area.
really, these records, all my records, sit on the shelf and get played rarely. with the vinyl i dont care about, its just sitting on the shelf costing me money, so i usually get rid of it. record what i care about and poopoo the rest. fuck it... theres hella more records to cop.

super funk and a the bartz' stay. 70s' leon spencer, earland etc.. goes. 60s spencer, muhummad etc.. stays.

There's too many of them for any sort of rule to apply across the board, although earlier is generally better, IMO.
I just sold about 400 records to Dusty Groove, and I'm feeling great.
Spring cleaning!
