How Many?

Tried that with mine a few months ago, didn't want half of them and offered pennies for the rest.

that’s odd I offloaded my collection of around 380 CDs and got nearly £800 for them.
Well worth a try anyway.

Must say something about my taste in music but the amount they offered wouldn't have covered the cost of petrol to take them to the post office.
 
Maybe the Beverley Sisters aren't in demand anymore ?? :whistle::whistle:
 
Anyway, I need to make a list. Where’s ole @Grumps when you need him eh?

The revival started some years ago and sales are very good , the real revival at the moment is cassette , the players are fetching decent money so no doubt the tapes will , relatively .
 
My dad has a huge collection of vinyl fro 50’ to mid 70’s. Has some A-track as well. Hoping to have a play through some of them again at some point.

ive kept all my cds and cassettes as I couldn’t face throwing them out when you add it all up. Funny thing is that most of the dvds and Blu-rays have gone up in the loft as well.
 
Same here Mark, it’s hurts to throw stuff away like that. We still have VHS videos and I kept the player, still have a cassette player and record turntable too. We used to have parties at New Year and we would get the box of 45s out and reminisce. Somehow vynil has more connection with teenage years.

I've got boxes and boxes of audio cassettes, CDs, VHS tapes and CDs. I shudder to think what the original purchase price was. Have to say I thought they were worthless, but reading that cassettes are on the up and that music magpie buy CDs has cheered me up no end......

Back in the late 70's I bought a Mitsubishi Radio/Cassette player for my Avenger. It was very high tech. It had ANSS (automatic sound suppression) which cut out tape "hiss" but the best thing was APSS (automatic programme search system) which, if you pressed the FF/RW button it found the beginning or end of tracks. Very good for the time.

ps. Took me several weeks to pay it off at so much a week. That was back when your wages came in a small brown packet.:)
 
Super Audio CD (SACD) is a read-only optical disc format for audio storage, introduced in 1999. ... The SACD is designed to be played on an SACD player; however, hybrid SACDs contain a track that may also be played on a standard CD player.

So, GF used to be married and whilst cleaning out the garage, I came across a large tub filled with CD's. She called him and he said he didn't want them anymore and to dump them. I took the tub to the local record store to see if I could sell them. About an hour later, was talking to GF and mentioned that I took them to be sold...Apparently her and her ex had a part of the conversation that I did not catch because after a pause she said "those were just the jewel cases...they're empty". I called the store, but they had already checked them...I figure there was about 300 or so. They. Were. Not. Happy.

Most of my CDs have been ripped to the PC and copied onto blank discs or copied onto media of one sort or another. I recently had a small issue getting the cartridge out of the disc changer in my Z4 . I had put 6 discs in there which I hadn't ripped too the PC, so when I got it out I used my new PC to rip these discs and copied onto blanks to put in the changer. Now there is only about £1.20 worth of discs in there rather than £70 - £75 so if there comes a time when it won't come out I could live with that.

Many years ago, I had a friend that had one of those fancy 100-disc changers. Then he got real fancy and just ripped all of them to the hard drive on an old computer he had (this was five years before iTunes)

Sorry for not replying sooner mate, what are SACDs?

Answer below , but as you didn't know it's highly unlikely you will have bought any unless you have a hybrid disc which contains both CD and DSD tracks . Anyway Tony I may have been interested if you are selling .

Invented by Sony they came along a bit too soon for the main stream music world , there are hundreds of titles in Classical Music and are still being produced in small numbers , last month I bought the first four Dire Straits albums that have just been released on SACD .
