A man in Medford, OR, has a collection of 260,000 LPs - and he wants to
sell them! And apparently he wants to sell the whole thing in one lot -
no cherry picking. He says he has every genre except rap (can't blame
him for that!), including a lot of rarities. Just think of all those
orginal Blue Notes, shaded dogs, and 3 eye Columbias!
Just think - 260,000 LPs! Play 10 per day and you can't listen to them
all in your lifetime! But you can gaze upon them and fondle them and
dream of the unheard sonic bliss you will experience if and when you get
to listen to them!
Seriously, I expect there are a few true gems in there that will be
worth quite a bit to a serious collector, but most of it has to be
serious dreck.
My own collection is about 1200 individual CDs plus a couple of dozen
boxed sets and I can't listen to it all again before I die - there's
just too much else to do.
