	kab2112 SUBS Wales, where men are men and sheep are nervous Member since Jan 2011 15478 Points Moderator	I finally bit the bullet over the weekend regarding my “Various Artists" C/Ds. They were stored in boxes in a cupboard in my "office" where I have wall to wall shelving for my C/Ds. music DVDs and books. This is where I spend the winter days as I have my Hi-fi, computers and TV up here. I had finally run out of space. There was over 500 CD titles many of which were doubles, triples, box sets etc. I don’t remember the last time I played any other than a few favourites that I had on my shelves. I rang some charity shops to see if they wanted them. I think the numbers put them off as they declined. A friend of a friend who organises charity events for a nearly village ( Car boot sales, jumble sales etc.) was contacted and she came over and took the lot I did keep a few of them ( about 12 or so) A very difficult decision for me as I don’t usually part with any of my music collection although I did give a load of “Bootleg" CDs to one of the members here a few years ago after "digitising" them onto a hard drive. I will now have a look at my “I own it" on 45 worlds and deselect this option for these items. Is there anyone else out there who got rid of "Chunks" of their collections and how did you feel about it ???? I still have the first music item that I bought with my own money in 1960 – “Walk Don't Run" by the Ventures on the Top Rank label. I still have this in it’s original sleeve and wouldn't part with it. All my vinyl is in a store room downstairs and there is very little room for any more.
