but is it really worth it to post up an ad on craiglslist? im not having luck moving individual titles, or multiples. i think i have about 500 discs sitting around. most are good some are not. im going to let the lot go for dirt cheap, but there isnt anyone on here local enough i can give them to.
what would you guys do? i have all these discs in storage, and with winter coming, i cant have them in there anymore because i need to put my cadillac up for the winter...
there is no way in hell these discs are hitting the trash, the curb or a dump. im not asking a lot of money for them, but they arent worthless either... they just take up too much space in my storage!
if you live near connecticut i will make a killer deal on the whole package if you come get them! _________________ (2)Sears 274 & 934(80150,10&11350), sft100, sgt250, sjt 090-400, vp550, VDR3000, VP2000 & 4000

Since craigslist is free, it's worth a try.
It's pretty tough to get even a dollar a disc for the routine titles anymore. I think all the casual CED collectors have left the hobby since many modern TVs are problematic when displaying CEDs, unless you get an analog to digital convertor.
Then there's no widescreen titles of significance, and that takes the borderline collectors away. Then you have to be a self-maintaining quasi-technician anymore to keep the players in top shape, and that cuts out a few more.
You can probably count the serious collectors on you fingers and toes, and nationwide, out of 300 million people, there's probably only a miniscule fraction of a percent who routinely play CEDs. |

I had an uncle die from leukemia last week...I will get a look, ask soon enough but I'm also waiting to hear from others on things I was interested in. Not fun lately.
Hang in their a smidge, but sell what you can as you can too.
If you have a copy of Elton John Visions, please do Josh a favor and sell it to him to let me have more time to fix my 250 and watch mine?

Anyone who wants to pick up Tony's discs can swing through MN and pick up mine too, I've got about 1,000 extras that I would let go dirt cheap. Same problem that Tony has, they take up too much space and I can't throw them out but I can't give them away either. As with Tony, no one lives close enough to me to come get them, and the cost of renting a big truck or shipping makes them not worth it anymore. We need someone in central US to start a CED warehouse and they can round up all these big lots that no body wants and store them for future generations. Who wants to volunteer? |

That's really not a bad idea. A place where you can send your extras and let them go to those who'd want them. I personally woould send miine to such a place, but the problem I see is that the costs involved in keeping a place like that and manning it, and dealing with the mail traffic would probably make it not worthwhile. |

I'm not likely to be very timely on my bicycle.

At any rate, Josh, your two discs are in the mail now. The bologna and mayo money really helped _________________ A New Vista of RCA Victor COLOR! |

the sad thing, is, if i had a warehouse of space, id say send all extra discs to me and i will consign them! but the 500 or so i have in my garage is enough lol... plus shipping really is a bear on these! i just wish we all lived close enough, but i had to go and live in hartford! haha, i wish i was from indiana or something like that, but being out here and having this collection makes me more unique in my area
if i could i would give the discs away and let the seller figure out shipping, but, im scared of selling an item that is so easily damaged in the mail in such bulk. so far i have been lucky, but it would be nice for someone to come in person for them. _________________ (2)Sears 274 & 934(80150,10&11350), sft100, sgt250, sjt 090-400, vp550, VDR3000, VP2000 & 4000
