    I shop estate auctions. DVD/Blu-ray lots and the players always bid up I’m little bidding wars. Boxes of music CDs that are not classical or country get bid up pretty high. And vinyl that is not classical or country goes through the roof. Granted, that last one appears to be a popular wall ornament with the mid-generations.

      Where are you? Most people I know can’t give away DVDs or music cds. They are effectively etrash at this point.

      Vinyl on the other hand, suckers born every minute.

        DVDs and CDs go for $1, BluRays $3-$5. This is across the 3 goodwills, a salvation army, and a Savers. Super cheap, HUGE selection. Vinyls too but they all went ebay pricing on them so even shit ones start at $10.

          Estate auctions are their own thing, and vary by region. I didn’t realize it wasn’t everywhere.

          Even so, when was the last time you saw any good music at goodwill?

        True, every market is different. Makes sense to me every time I’m outbid.

        Free and clear music added to your personal digital library. Resell the CD. Or keep it.

        I bought a record player that digitizes, on estate auction, for $5. You can do the same with LPs. But it’s “cool” to hold onto those.

        Country doesn’t sell. Or if it does, whole boxes go for a single digit.
