like my old vinyl, I'll be boxing my cd's up and keeping them. They are more than pieces of plastic which convey music to a speaker. I remember where I bought these things - why I bought them - who I bought them for


None of it means a sack of beans beyond nostalgia - but when I flick through them in years to come I'll be glad I kept them

CDs are becoming collectible like vinyl. A friend of mine deals in music memorabilia and makes a sizeable amount on buying and selling CDs. Might be worth finding a dealer and seeing if you have anything they'd be interested in.

I personally have kept all mine as they cost me a fortune as a teenager ( remember when a cd could cost ?20!) and they remind me of my youth

I did this with a similar sized collection and ended up with a few quid. Worth the half hour or so of bar code scanning.

Whatever you do do not store vinyl in a loft, or garage, unless you have a converted loft. If you store them in either, you end up with albums covered in dust, dirt, heat,and they can be got at by mice or any other kind of pest, they can be destroyed by damp pr moisture that can easily get into a garage or a roof. During my many years as a record dealer I visited many people who had stored their precious vinyl in lofts and garages, only to find that after years of being tucked away, the covers had been eaten, ruined, by dust and dirt, records warped by the heat caused by sunlight on a roof and worth zilch.

Most record dealers pay pennies for CD's, unless they are rare or collectable, sadly most CD's aren't.

I remember being at a house party in Liverpool where that album was playing, and it was cool. Then it finished. Then it started again. This happened for the whole night, and I have never listened to that album since.


Can't believe it was ?17.99, I don't remember spending that much on CDs, but I guess I must have.

    • Most of the groceries shops in Lordship Lane have a security presence…curious thing is I and another woman recently saw a shop lifter lift and not pay for a couple of packet of steaks, veg and bottle of wine..  Literally walked Pat the tills, one member of staff and security guard despite someone else going in front by a few people and mentioning person in question! I have to say, speechless and admired their bravado - I would not have the guts and knowing my luck, if I accidentally didn’t put something tru the till despite receipt would prob get stopped! Yes, worked with families, homeless and other people who were struggling for food so I do understand why they do it.. sad when you think about it, that in this day and age, all sorts of c people need assistance and help from community in general, food banks, olio etc….
    • Just not keen to have all these  things  in my body… having said  that, thinking about Covid again as need to come to London to two hospitals for poss overnight stays. 
    • And another one, number 6, has just gone passed as well!  I presume that the LTNs are blocking them from a more useful route. Or the surrounding road works. 
    • Yes, I saw an incident van too, earlier, around 3.30 - never seen one before. It did look as if it was on its way to something major.
