I got into audio and buying LPs over 40 years ago. I was never interested in becoming a "record collector" - that always seemed to require too much time and effort. Nonetheless, somehow I have wound up with a pretty sizable collection (I'm not sure how many, I've never counted them - whenever people ask me how many albums I have, I point to them and say "that many"). So, for various reasons, I have decided to prune my collection to a more focused, manageable collection. I have decided to start with selling my classical and opera albums first. I have cataloged them on Discogs and expect to eventually list them for sale there, but I have decided to first offer them to members of this board and Audionirvana. Until I decide to list them for sale, I will offer the members of these forums substantial discounts and will be willing to discuss the condition of the albums ahead of time. Moreover, if you don't like how the album sounds when you get it, you can return it (think of how many times you have bought an album that looks mint, but plays horribly). I can, to a limited degree, also pre-play the albums. I'm not trying to get top dollar here, just trying to defray some of the ridiculous amount I have spent on this hobby and have my babies adopted by a loving home.
The collection includes many gems. It also has many European-released albums (I lived in London for a decade). Ninety-five percent of the LPs are in NM condition (with a large percentage being dead-on mint) (I do not rate an lp as M, unless the album is sealed). The jackets range from F (pretty beat up) to NM- (remember that most of these albums are 40 - 60 years old.) You will see in my collection some Rock, Jazz and Blues albums. I really have not yet gotten a chance to catalog those collections, so only a small percentage are currently cataloged. Nonetheless, if something piques your interest, let me know. If you have questions of general interest, please reply here. Otherwise, please feel free to message me with any queries. I have about 100 classical and opera albums that have not been added yet as i was unable to find them quickly on Discogs. I will be adding them over the next week or so.
btw, if anyone here has experience selling large numbers of albums on Discogs or ebay, please message me. I apparently have never sold an album - much to the chagrin of my wife.
A bit about me: I have been an audiophile since I was 12. I have always used the best equipment I could afford (my first turntable was a Thorens 145 with a Blue Point cartride and my current turntable is a Grand Prix Audio Monaco v.2 with an Ortofon MC100) I have always been meticulous when it comes to set-up and album cleaning (I used to use a Loricraft to clean, but switched to the Audiodesk).
Below is the link to my collection. Enjoy!
