Time to sell my collection ...

I had the opportunity to listen to HITNRUN yesterday and I was so embarrassed!! (Even though I was listening to it on my own, in my car on the way home from work!).

I must admit that it's the live music that has kept me a fan, however his latest output has really put me off ... I've always felt I've had to defend myself when people ask me who my favourite artist is by adding "But it's the live stuff I really like or bootlegs with previously unreleased songs".

Do you think now would be a good time to sell my collection? I've got some great rare items, however I don't want them to sell for less than their true value because of the damage HITNRUN may have caused!!

If the fans really dislike HITNRUN so much, they'll probably be happy to part with their cash for the 'good old stuff' smile Go for it !!

Hard to believe I've been on the org for over 25 years now!

I totally understand where you are coming from. I had very similar feelings last night when i got the torrent. Good grief...and it thought Planet Eart/20Ten was rock bottom. H&R even surpass them in utter prenentious garbage.

In regards to your collection, you only have to look around Ebay....not much goes for decent prices these days. And i have started to notice a few sellers listing semi-rare items with a ridiculous Buy it Now price.

I have far too many items that i would like to get rid off, but i have no hope of getting at least what i paid for them in the first place, let alone make any kind of profit on them. Thankfully i'm not in need of the room they take up....yet.

goodluck if you do decide to sell.

you haven't got the Glam Slam Aussie 12" with white sticker by any chance?? biggrin

I know what you mean ... It doesn't seem too long ago since the likes of Rave In2 was selling for way over £100 but they've been going for more like £60+

I don't just want to sell my collection for what I paid for it but unfortunatley, that seems to be the way it's going sad

Also, I'm sorry but I don't have the Glam Slam 12" ...

Stop bleating about shit. If you are serious about selling then do it properly. Don't "test the water" with daft lists. If you are selling then sell. Post your stuf on ebay, or list them here and offer photos of your items to those who are interested. Prices would be useful too. Sadly not everything you buy increases in value, that's just the way it is.

Good luck.

To be fair, I originally posted this in the 'Prince Music' forum as I had hoped it would be debated by other people feeling the same way, however my post got moved to the 'Marketplace' forum ...
