Hopefully the executor sells it and makes a few quid. Really though, I'll be dead so they can use it as frisbees for all I care. | |

Hopefully, it would all end up in my little sister's hands... She was forced to listen to my favorite songs over and over again as kids, so she loves most of the old stuff anyhow, and would grow to appreciate the new stuff she hasn't heard yet. | |

For this very reason I've always said people should unseal those gems and play those discs. I've unsealed loads of my rarities in recent years just to enjoy the item and to enjoy life. . | |

. Hey now...that was unfortunately Prince's attitude towards it as well. At least leave them to friends and/or family with directions how to sell on ebay or whatever. | |

I'm listening to everything I have and about to get to some sealed ones too. They're all in a drawer beside my bed resting on silk. I was thinking about this the other day..what will be of them when I leave the earth? My husband of course,my son too! I know this sounds silly but i said to my husband I don't want to leave this world without my beloved music it means so much to me that I cannot believe one day I won't be able to play it listen to it or touch/ hold all of the albums that are with me now. One day it will be quiet but the rainbow would be to bump in to Prince up there.. Or maybe even back here. [Edited 5/28/16 3:00am] | |

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. . | |

My collection will get buried with me so i can play it in heaven. | |

Interesting perspective. Here I am trying to get my hands on as much rare stuff as possible but it's really all about the music, right? Baby, that was much too fast... 1958-2016 | |

Yes. The people I'm close to are aware of my wishes (and the potentail value) of all my music collection, but if they choose to ignore that and dump it all then there will not be a whole lot I could do about that. | |

As it is only me and my daughter, and she dont like Prince - I guess it will be sitting in a cupboard and maybe turfed out in time............its only material stuff anyway I guess & it wont matter to me coz I wont be able to hear it anyway. Thank you Prince for every note you left behind 💜 | |

I keep debating on wether to sell all my stuff and have a good time with the money, especially now prices are a bit higher, but every time I go on eBay to see what things are selling for I end up bidding on stuff that I don't have. I just can't help myself, I think it's some form of sickness!! ![]() Some people are like Slinkies...
They're good for nothing but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs. | |

No one in my family understands the VALUE of the Prince collection. My mother would probably ebay everything of mine for a profit.

I have some younger cousins, two in particular, who have great taste in music and a great appreciation for music and great artists. As far as I know they are not SUPER into Prince but they do respect him and my collection could help take them all the way haha. We all want the stuff that's found in our wildest dreams. . . | |

The day Prince died my daughter came to bring me Purple balloons and flowers and a big purple P with rhinestones to put over my bed. I took out some of my things to look at and as soon as she saw how much i have collected, she said CHA-CHING ! I'm taking my stuff with me. | |

Well me and my mom talked about this a little while back with the whole no will situation came about. I know I don't have much but my music collection is a very important part of me. I have pretty much been collecting music my whole life, and I told her that cds probably won't be around forever, So, I pointed out that they might be worth something one day. Anyway we were talking about what I would leave and we talk my music collection. She knows it's one of my many important things that I hold onto so, I was telling her that she could probably sell it and if it didn't sell, she could just give it away for free. Just let people have it, be it in the family or whatever. Now she said she probably wouldn't sell them because she knows keeping them will remind her of me. So pretty much my Prince collection is included in that so, most likely that is what would happen. | |

I've thought about this. On one hand, it's just earthly possession that I will have no connection to once I die. I cannot take anything with me. I don't even know if I'll have my memories with me when I go to another place. So, I enjoy the music now, and just leave the vinyl to whatever person gets it. If you have a problem with me, text me. If you don't have my number, you don't know me well enough to have a problem with me. | |

I'm leaving my collection to the Bremer folks to deal with. No will. | |

I've been thinking about that too. Not only my Prince collection, but my overall vynil collection. I got some relics there. Beatles, Frank Zappa, the Woodstock original triple vynil, Santana, Bowie, Roxy Music, and so on. And will be inheriting a ton more from my hippie parents so I need to write this stuff down somewhere. I hope that in time both my kids will come to appreciate more these vynils. Right now they are very much into music, just different stuff. | |

My sis would nab it in a heartbeat! I still remember us listening to Erotic City as kids & her giggling & asking me whether I heard the lyrics. | |
