Typhoon Where did you find a place getting rid of 900 CD’s???
I've picked up boxes of 100-200 for $20-$40 just off of Facebook. But my new supplier is a woman who ran a Friends of the Library donation store nearby. Of course, COVID shut down the store, but everyone was cleaning out their homes so the donation site was getting overloaded. So they rented out a storage facility, and were putting in about 20 milk crates of Video Games / DVDs / CDs per week. Once the stores started to open up elsewhere, the Library system decided to shut down this branch for a complete remodel. Donations, while slower, are still coming in.
She finally realized they would never be able to process in all of these. So she is selling them for $20 per crate, sight unseen. I bought two crates a week ago, ended up being about 150-170 CDs in a crate. Went through them, kept 25 or so, then I just sorted the, into genres, and sold 3 boxes of 100 CDs for $20 each on Facebook within a day.
Yesterday I asked my supplier if she'd sell me 6 crates of CDs for $100. She said sure. I asked her how many crates of games/DVDs/CDs she had left. She said probably 4 or 5 ............. hundred.
It has gotten me off buying PXG stuff for a while, which is good. But with all these CDs coming in, I've been buying CD/DVD/BR players from garage and estate sales. I now have...
A nice 1980s JVC CD player for massive use. $20
A beast of a Toshiba DVD player made in 2001 (MSRP $1999) for HDCD & DVD-Audio. Somebody bought it and never took it out of the box other than to take pictures. Got this yesterday for $45 and amazingly it works great.
A Marantz DVD player for SACD. $20
A Panasonic BluRay for BluRay audio playback. $12
Now I am paralyzed - too many options.
