Arghhhh, I've just been offered €500 for a record I paid less then €5 for years ago and had almost forgotten about, but now that I listen to it to check its condition, I find it's really great... What to do what to do?!!!! www.popsike.com/LP-EGISTO-MACCHI-ARTI-E-MESTIERI-LEONARDI-RECORDS-SL26-RARE-LIBRARY/111986545684.htmlMinimal modern jazz, haunting slow funk, sinister beats, cheer greatness for this extremly limited library record probably never to be repressed from one of Morricone's main collaborator. Is there any way you can make yourself a recording of it? That way you could still have the music itself, but capitalize monetarily on your incredibly good fortune for having bought it in the first place.

Seems like I too could make good money if I wanted to sell some of the rare out of print Prince CDs since my are in such prime shape from using burned CDs to listen to the music.

Of course I could make a recording of it, but two things : I'm a vinyl enthusiast, I listen to music on vinyl. Also, who knows where the rare vinyl market will be in a few years? This record would have at best been worth €150 two years ago. Those rare and good records were unknown and are slowly getting discovered by a larger audience. And when I say rare, it's probably aroung 300 copies... This is really keeping me up at night!

And when I say rare, it's probably aroung 300 copies... This is really keeping me up at night! Then ask yourself: Do I need the money? If you do, it's a no-brainer. If you don't need the money, ask yourself what you would do with the money you got. Would you use it pay down debt (if you have any), spend it on others (gifts or the like), or spend it on yourself to buy more vinyl or comics? There's no wrong answer, but you have to judge the utility of owning this particular item versus making a huge and unexpected profit from it which would then allow you to do other things of potentially greater total utility. I ran into a similar situation with New Mutants #98, which I'd bought back in the day for cover price. I have no love for Deadpool, but I held onto it because it was part of a complete run of the title. When Marvel released the $1 reprint of it, my dilemma was solved, as I could still have the entire run to read but could then sell it and use the money to put towards some other things I want (an upgraded copy of Captain America #118, the second and third FF Omnibus editions, and a copy of Werewolf by Night #1).

Alas, I did need the money when I sold several dozen of my rare vintage punk records around a decade ago. A couple of 7"s -- the Dicks' & Child Molesters' debuts (second pressing of 200 in the latter case, but for whatever reason just about as sought-after as the first pressing) -- went for something like $450 & $550 each, & I refuse to see how much they go for these days ... though last time I looked the values hadn't really changed. I've been a lot stingier with my comics. Sold most of my Walking Deads starting with #19 & I think the first few issues of Sixth Gun, but that's it. Because of movies & TV & other such ephemera other stuff I happen to own has gotten pricey -- Marvel Super-Heroes #18 (first Guardians of the Galaxy), various Guardians series, etc. -- but until such time as I find myself really strapped, I don't care.

Ah... I finally sold it, for €620. It's really painfull to let a unique piece of music history go like that, especially since there's no other edition of it in any format, but I might buy a good 30 records with this that may end up in demand as well... Earlier this year, I decided to have my collection on discogs.com aopen to random viewers. Whenever someone gets in touch wondering if I would sell a specific item, I always answer them "make me an offer I can't refuse"... Which has resulted in around 1000 euros straight on my paypal for 3 records, including two I had doubles of. But with this one, I broke my rule to never sell a record I don't have doubles of and which have zero copies available prospect anywhere online. Ah... Maybe I'll just buy a synth or something to make music...

I started teaching my older daughter to play Magic: The Gathering last evening after dinner. It was fun to watch the gears turning in her head as she grasped more and more of the concepts and strategy as the night went on.
As a parent, it's an amazing thing to watch my kids grow and become their own persons. Love them both so much!
