I'd keep 'em around in case there's a zombie outbreak!

Thanks for all the replies. I've thought about transferring them to digital, but the thought of all the hiss/crackles/pops/etc doesn't do much for me. It's mostly a sentimental thing.

Not to mention I have some good stuff in there. The complete Led Zeppelin collection ( ) and the original Lynyrd Skynyrd - Street Survivor's album. The one that shows them on fire shortly before their plane went down.

You can eliminate most of the noise with EQ, then you can say Ebay Baby!!!

I have a huge storage tub of my old record albums. They have been sitting in the tub, in the garage since we moved about a 1.5 years ago. It kills me to think about just throwing them away.

What have you old timers who know what I'm talking about done with your albums?

Here is a response I got from a place in Grand Prairie called Forever Young Records. I have a friend that had a ton of old records and brought them down there and got a couple hundred for them. But he had alot of unique and records in his collection. I'm going to go by and drop mine off and see if they are worth anything, if not I'll just do the 1/2 Price thing.

At work, I can transfer them to cd or digital .mp3 and remove the majority of hiss and crackle with special filters

$75/hr of audio

If they are 12" I'll take'em! I have a ton of 12" LPs in my closet; from EDM to some old Sinatra and classical music my grandparents gave me.

What ever Ice does not want I'll take/buy. IF you have some really good front end equipment and speakers (BTW I do have some speaker for sale), LP sound WAAAAAAAAY better than CD's ever could.

Heart sounds so dynamic on LP's, but on CD's they sound flat and sterile. Also the re-issue of Pink Floyd Dark Sid of the Moon LP, nothing but pure audio bliss.

I keep my LPs/12" eps/12" singles on some shelves in the bedroom with a few unique cd box releases. Five rare/signed/pulled by the record label LP releases are framed & hanging in the living room. Most of the 45s are in a box, though a few choice selections still live near the turntable or sit near the desk.

I've found that a couple of the albums are worth a couple of bills on fleaBay, so they'll be headed that way soon once the glut of one of them dies out.

1/2-Price Books...yeah, well, they'll give you a quarter each or something lame like that. At least it's a little more space available for...um...car parts or something.

I shudder to think what all the old 12" LPs and singles I sold to Half Price would be worth today on Ebay...
