  A neighbor “collected” video tapes. When those went out in place of DVDs he tried to sell them at a garage sale for 50 cents each. He estimated he had over $8,000 tied up in them and got $20 back. Couldn’t even give them away. Now he has several hundred DVDs that he admits he doesn’t watch. They are covered with dust most of the time.

  I just don’t understand that kind of spending and dust-collecting.

  Oh Mahler, why did you have to remind me of the 500 albums I currently own, ( and have not listened to because I no longer have a record player…) and I won’t sell because they are worth a heart of gold.
  I know. I’m holding out for Ebay.

  Maria, I solved my turntable problem last Christmas with a splurge buy at Target. Most of the major retailers stock an affordable, cute retro-look music “station” around that time. It plays “everything”, including LPs, cassettes, CDs, most MP3 players, a radio….although no 8-track. Some models even record LPs in MP3 format. On a side note, a friend often makes very good money selling vintage records. DVDs, though, not so much.

  I have a small collection of vinyl that I love for the cover art. I have some framed on the wall in my media room. Groovy!

  And a ton of old 45’s that I’m holding onto out of nostalgia.

  It doesn’t make sense to collect new media these days when it is all available in other ways.
