Ebay CD collection listing

I am selling my entire broadway cd collection on ebay and thought some people might be interested in checking it out. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=120621004394&Category=307&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26its%3DI%26otn%3D1#ht_6170wt_1139

I've sold a LOT of CDs in my day and I need to tell you: You are NEVER going to get $1,000 for 180 used CDs. Start the bidding at $200.

The trouble you're going to run into with a collection this big is that any theatre fan who might be interested in used cast recordings and have this kind of money is bound to already have a good majority of these recordings, thus keeping them from spending so much to get maybe a handful of recordings that they could pick up cheaper somewhere else. I would definitely recommend breaking it up into several auctions. Probably a much better chance of unloading some of these. As it stands now, unloading this entire collection in one high priced auction is not looking very likely.

Down to $500 now, it appears.

And I can't imagine who would buy - as pointed out, there's nothing interesting/collectable in the list.

Sell 'em one-by-one on amazon or half.com.

I had a huge CD collection and this is how I sold it: I did a series of garage sales- I pulled out anything "Special" (autographed, limited edition, box sets) and put them aside. I advertised on Craig's List and said "Thousands of CD- $3 each!"

I think I made about $1700 that time.

Two weeks later I did it again, advertising "Thousands of Cds $3 each" and added "Many many rare & collectible Cds & Boxed sets- priced to sell!" I think that one brought in about $800.

A year later I did everything $2 a disc (My town limits the number of garage sales to 2 a year). I am getting ready to do the $1 a disc sale next week.

DEFINITELY advertise on Craig's list!!!
