I just sold a whole bunch of my CDs on Ebay and Amazon and I don't feel any better for it

...Not even that much wealthier. I actually feel like I've drowned my children or something.

I don't recommend this.

But they had to go. :(

I also sold a perfectly good shotgun mic that I might have been able to use. These are desperate times indeed.

They're only cds. They're intended to be disposable, so take that money and invest in a real format.

I need that money to eat!

But I've compromised the "well-roundedness" of my collection by selling all the crap that nonetheless had some sentimental value.

Oh see now why did you sell the mic? What kind was it? You have any other audio stuff?

― ModJ (ModJ), Monday, 19 January 2004 03:39 (twenty-two years ago)

It was a Sennheiser 300 for Mini DV. No, I don't have any other audio stuff.

I can't say I've ever had any sentimental attachment to cds which is probably why so many of them got sold if I was ever short on cash and needed to buy a pack of smokes or something. Records, on the other hand..

Oh well. I would have bought that. How much did it go for?

i took a boxload of really good shit* to my local second hand shop and the guy looked at it and said i don't know any of this i'll give you a hundred bucks. and i said no thanks.

see there was no doors or john farnham in there.

$140. Not bad, seeing as I stole it from a place where I used to work.

I find unloading cds kind of freeing. I think I am one of those 12 cds people at heart, it's just there always revolving.

...Except when you want to play a certain disc and remember that you sold the bloody thing ages ago...

Thought that read, "I also sold a perfectly good shotgun that I might have been able to use." @d@m, it's not that desperate...

I'm moving (to a bigger apt, ironically) and have removed very near to 200 CDs from their brethren for disposal.
Some of them are even not-total-wastes-of-time/space, but failed to be played during the last two years and so must go. I'm a cruel mistress.
Have also pulled a full (3-shelf) bookcase's worth of books.

I don't know that I'm going to sell them. I could use the money, yes, but I may just donate them to a number of charity/youth groups. That way I don't have to see the true (small) value of these things I've hitched so many of my dreams on, and I get to feel smug for doing something philanthropic.

next time you're gonna sell something like that mic you let me know first sir!

(my shotgun mic is kinda fucked)

― s1ocki (slutsky), Tuesday, 20 January 2004 04:42 (twenty-two years ago)

gaz i trust the lack of john farnham in your to sell box is due to your refusal to part with the treasured works of the man
