Getting rid of CDs (1 Viewer)

[rettucs]

anyone done a big purge lately? A mate of mine did but he said he just dumped everything. I'd be more inclined to find a better home for whatever I decide to cull.

Do charity shops take CDs?

*a lot of the CDs I'll be getting rid of are YOUR bands.

 

[rettucs]

though I did promise @Unicron a while back that he could have my copy of the Si Schroder album. I wasn't able to find it back then, but if I find it when I'm doing the 'big clearout', he still has dibs on that one.

Do you have any tapes? I’m looking for Daft Punk live at the Red Box or whatever it was.

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

Sounds more than fair

Super

I have a U2 live in croke park bootleg from 1987 that I bought on O'Connell bridge

Will pay for old Irish punk demo tapes.

 

[rettucs]

@GARYXKNIFEDX and @ernesto, CDs are boxed up. You'll be getting a couple of hundred each.

will have to organise to get them to you. Let me know what suits.

Gary, I am over the M50 every once in a while. I can meet you in a car park somewhere and do a dodgy handover. Whatever suits.

Did you ever post what you were offloading?

I bought about 8 or so really good quality stuff for 6 quid in the Vincents on George St. Constellation, Warp, Rollers/Skaters... one of youse?

Mad to be getting rid of cds... they are the one thing guaranteed to retain or increase in value as the last physical digital media.

most CDs will never be worth shit again! Unless you know different?? but they still have their place.
and rettucs is moving house.

I have loads of music magazines I don't want but being a hundred miles from Dublin even if offered to pay someone's petrol to collect them I doubt I'd get any takers.
and also a large amount of records / CDs and tapes that very few people in Ireland will ever want and it will be a problem to dispose of it all when I'm gone....

I still buy CDs regularly and have nearly twice as many of CDs as LPs.
I recently got the Repo Man CD soundtrack for 16 Euro ppd. it would cost three times that for any vinyl pressing.
still not into downloading music.

Most yes, and most vinyl for that matter.

But plenty will retain some sort of value. Of course most though - look at the amount of shit that's been released since the history of recorded music.

Not into the streaming myself unless yt counts.

CDs are the way to go. I think they are going to be big.

As an adjacent point, a friend of mine said dvd/blu ray sales went up last year.

He said the reason for this was [possibly] people getting fed up of streaming sites [such as Mubi] only hosting films for a limited time period, and then when they sit down to finally watch it, the thing they were looking for is gone. He also threw in the possibility of people having dvds and blu rays for having guests over [uh, not something I can personally relate to] and it reduces the whole decision paralysis.

Like the music thing, I have downloaded stuff in the past, but in the last few years I'vejust been exhausting the range of dvds/blu-rays available on the nationwide library database. Hardly streamed a show in my life either, but don't really bother with TV except for occasional episodes of Eastenders, Only Fools & Horses etc.

I just don't have space for them. I was pushing it as it was, and now we're downsizing so its not possible to keep them all. In saying that, I'm holding on to a few hundred for myself.

Never listed them, no. That would take ages and I didn't really spend that long sorting them. Basically just picked out the ones I wanted to keep (mostly for nostalgia reasons) and boxed up the rest. But its 35 years or so of the shite I've been buying. A lot of it is very decent but there is an amount of shite in there too.

The 2 lads better not judge me, or worse still, out me!

 

[Kermit McDermott]

Any Richie Kavanagh albums on the list?

I dumped the cases and held onto the CDs and inlay cards in a couple of those wallet yokes.
I had had a couple of clear outs prior to that though

The only CDs that got dumped in my last house move clear out were by this band called Large Mound.
