Just sold off a handful of my vinyl collection, gonna sell the rest once I get CD replacements for them sans a few sentimentals.
>>131423988>Just sold off a handful of my vinyl collection, gonna sell the rest once I get CD replacementst. boomers in the 90s selling off their records that would end up being worth $1000s, while their CDs end up in the dollar bin.
That's a horrible decision and you made me sad.

>>131424084>you have to I never said you had to. I just think it's not the best decision to get rid of something so wonderful. If you didn't want other people's opinions then I'm not sure why you made this thread. >gonna sell it all, and burn the turntableBut why? Why did you choose to do this? And how many are you getting rid of?
>>131424050>>131424060>>131424103>>131424135Vinyl requires arduous handling to not damage them. You can't buy cheap turntables because they will also damage them so you need to splurge just to have something acceptable. They warp and bend in storage and melt in the heat, and take up 10x the space of an equivalent CD. It's cons all the way down except for the fact that they also function as large art prints and art prints are pretty (which is what almost held me from selling some and will hold me from selling some others).Once I tried buying and getting into CDs due to my turntable being broken and not wanting to buy another I realized that it's just a big hipster meme I fell for.>And how many are you getting rid of?I wasn't a big collector when I was buying vinyl so not a lot. I actually won't name them either because they're a little embarrassing but I'll tell you I'm keeping picrel which will probably be a $1k record someday.
>>131424169That's not very nice at all. >>131424203>Vinyl requires arduous handling to not damage themNot even slightly true. Unless you're putting them under extreme heat or throwing them around haphazardly then they're typically fine. >You can't buy cheap turntables. Turntables are a one time purchase anyway. If you get a good one it'll last you your entire life. Spending about $500 that'll last a good chunk of your life seems like a fair exchange to me. >They warp and bend in storage and melt in the heatThey have to be in extremes for both for them to get long-term damage. I've been a record collector since middle school and none of them have gotten damaged in those ways. Unless the buyer I get it from fucks it up but that's on them. >due to my turntable being broken How did it break? >I actually won't name them either because they're a little embarrassing. What's so embarrassing about them?
>>131424480>it’ll all end up in the trash when you dieWell believe it or not, I'm not the only human in existence who's into vinyl and collecting. It will likely be donated to a record store, gifted to friends, or sold off to another collector. And unlike you, my collection isn't small, so it'd be pretty wasteful to throw them all out.
>>131424203>will probably be a $1k record someday.Just get a savings account. Collections (with the intent of selling them for a profit) are gay as fucking hell. It won't be worth that, but let's say it does. You won't sell it, you'll say "this will be worth even MORE down the line!" and continue holding on to it, not using it. Hoarding is bad. Find a milf therapist like Dr. Robin Zasio before wasting your money and space on more useless garbage, like CDs.

>>131423988>sansdo you assholes really speak like this in real life?
I did the same thing. I only kept 1970's vinyl records that do not have an equal or superior sounding digital version (for example if the album exists digitally but only as a compressed master, I keep the vinyl), and then replaced everything else by early 80's CD's with known good masters. Went from 50-60 vinyl records and 0 CD's to 10 or so vinyl records and about 70 CD's.And for the normie stuff widely available such as random modern stuff I liked when I was younger like electronic music or whatever I just have flac files and done.
