I am moving and won’t have room for my collection of about 2900 music CDs. The collection consists of about 1200 rock, 1000 jazz, 400 world, 200 classical, 100 other. By request I will email you a list.
Most of the collection is priced at $2/disc, but (a) I will discount the prices for large purchases, and (b) I set higher prices for out-of-print (OOP) or otherwise hard-to-find titles, including box sets.
Some notes about the collection:
I purchased all of these discs, first in 1985, regularly from 1992 through 2020, and sporadically in the last several years. I purchased maybe 10%(?) of them used, but set a very high bar for acceptability. Any discs with scratches or skips have long since been tossed out and replaced.
All discs have been, and still are, stored upright in CD racks (see pix) indoors at 60-76F, except for ~500 jazz discs that I boxed and moved to outdoor storage (40-90F) in Oct 2020. I brought the boxes indoors last month and played several at random; all played flawlessly.
To give you an idea of what’s available, here’s a list of artists with 5 or more discs (A-D only; sorry CL stripped out formatting tabs):
