Hi,
It's been a long time since I've been here but I saw something insane on my local craigslist that i just had to share with you. Again, not my ad, just posting for historical purposes and your enjoyment. Just a brief comment: I completely understand the reasons behind having such a large collection (who of us isn't guilty of this sort of thing to some degree) but what's insane is a seller who believes that he can find a prospective buyer with 25K who will want to buy thousands of used home pre-recorded tapes of unknown health (some look to be sticky-shed years) with classical music on 'em from questionable sources. The seller hints at the possibility of splitting up the lot if there is no interest in the complete lot but still, who would want to buy this AND how long will it take the seller to sell piece by piece, recoup his own cost, not to mention the time and headaches of doing so. All I can say is WOW.
