It Never Ends

I was pondering this morning the fate of some of my collection. I'm moving as some of you know from Minneapolis back to San Diego. To move my CD collection is going to cost nearly $700.00 and my new place while a one bedroom is going to be smaller, meaning these CD's in bookcases are going to take up a lot of wall space. To add to the situation my sister has told me that I need to start thinking about what I've got stored in her garage. There are 2,000 lp's, 4000 cassettes, reel to reel material, 45's, and a couple of hundred 78's. There are two sound systems, one mono and one stereo. Putting this in storage would cost approximately $1000 a year. Trying to put all of this in a one bedroom place wouldn't allow me to move much at all in the place. And most of it is important. As an example I have the original Jungle Book from Rozsa on 78's. The cassettes include a complete library of Mercury Living Presence Recordings that I copied from the library at one point.

I have tried a couple of times to sell some of the material on ebay but couldn't handle the people. They wanted it for nothing needed a blow by blow description of the condition of the 78 as an example and the one guy I'm ashamed to say after four email exchanges I told him to go fuck himself which brought a threat of bodily harm.

I'm thinking about it.
