I actually just started mine up again. In this past week I bought The Undertaker cd, One Night Alone Live box set, The Exodus, 20Ten and The Slaughterhouse boot promo...

Still need Rave In2 which I had but sold a year ago, One Night Alone and Gold Nigga.

Huge collection I have will get thrown away no doubt.

I sold it all myself and everything is on hard drives now. Would my executor be interested in my massive music/Prince collection? IDK and like TheDigitalGardener I don't care. But I share the whole thing online so others who dig it can enjoy it while I'm alive

seek out a new member here on the ORG and send my entire collection to him/her. It will be my dying wish to bring a smile to a new fan's face with the gift of MUSIC!

A few years ago I sold all my vinyl albums and a good chunk of my cds. I was left with a stash of Prince 7" vinyl records that I wasn't sure what to do with. From Bambi onward up to roughly D&P. Some special things, some not so special, some singles in UK, EU and US versions, etc.

I decided to put it up for sale in the forum here and got to chatting with a new fan. He'd only just started collecting. So I sent it to him for free. Most satisfying "sale" I made.

To me, I have the music. I don't care about the plastic anymore. Also, if I die, that's it. There's no god, no afterlife, no nothing. Those I've touched will have me with them forever, just like I have Prince (and many others) with me until I die. That's enough. Anything else is irrelevant in the bigger scheme of things.

I have all the physical CD Albums /official DVDs and some singles but I keep them stored. Everything I have it stored on TWO hard drives just in case one one fails. Have had that happen. Always have a back up plan and invest in a second hard drive I say

What if the inevitable happened and you passed away....... who would get your Prince collection???

Of course you would make a Will stating who gets the entire collection or whatever of it. The only thing is.......... who would you give your collection to? Would they keep it and appreciate it?? Would you mind if family and/or friends sold the entire collection or parts of it on eBay to make some $$$$$???? Or donate it??

If no one knows what you want done with it or you have no Will, then that collection you have been proud of could end up in a dumpster or whatever

You know you cannot take it with you, right?

Since Prince's passing, it took me two weeks to finally call my lawyer to start the process of creating a will. Just today, I've gone through every piece of media I have, and I've decided to give it to my bro, another Prince fam. I know he'll take care of it. BUT UNTIL THEN....I'm looking for a fireproof safe!!!...lol.

Are we seriously doing this?

In case you really were asking, something has been created that provides a good solution: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backup

Now I wonder what happens to all your CD's and DVD's if your house burns?

Id have mine destroyed....because I couldnt stand being in heaven looking down and watching while some other bastard's grubby hands are all over my P collection...however on a much nicer and more important note....

If any of you orger's are fastly reaching the age of passing over (which i noticed on that "how old are you" post the otherday..alot of you are) and r joining Prince in up above the Purple Rain...please note that if you have a spare copy of "Rave IN2 The Joy Fantastic" lying around...please leave it to me in your will...as ive lost mine....and begrudge paying stupid price's for it.....itll go to a good home

I sold nearly all of mine and funded fantastic holidays for the family. The memories with them are worth more than any rare CD or platinum disc. It was also liberating not to hoard and collect. Whats the point? I freed up loads of space and I still have all the music.

Smart squirrel knows what's important.

I volunteer in a charity shop. What I like is the "round robin" nature of it all. People bring stuff in, often the belongings of those who have died. We sort it out, sometimes dust or wash it, display it, and someone comes in who loves it, or has a use for it, they buy it, go off happy, and the charity (cancer in this case) collects money which goes to help those in need. I think of life as a cycle..god knows I love my stuff, but it is just stuff at the end of the day, you can't take it with you etc. I love handbags, so I think I'd like to be buried with my favourite bag over my arm and a copy of the Parade album on my chest.
