I'd have to clear out some extra shelf space in the basement...

And hey, it's $3 million, but you do get $10 back if you use the Ebay Mastercard!

He worked for radio stations...wonder how many of these records came at a "five finger discount"? How does one get this many albums...millions and millions!?

DrumAndDestroy · Post by **DrumAndDestroy** » Wednesday Feb 20, 2008

in all honesty...this guy probably has some real finds in that collection.

i collect punk vinyl and i'm amazed sometimes at what i hear

In the old days records were given to the DJ's, not the stations.
So they would play them on the air. So i wonder how many agents handed him albums to play.

Anybody ever see the records in "George's Song Shop" on Market street in Johnstown? Pretty amaising place and I'll bet his collection is worth some bucks!

HarleyRo1 · Post by **HarleyRo1** » Wednesday Feb 20, 2008

The hell with the record collection....I am going to hook up with him as soon as it's sold...

yeah, he advertises "1,000,000 songs". i have an orignal, never been played "robert johnson, king of the delta blues singers" i bought from johnny a few years back for $100.00. my plan is to give it a spin once i get my basement all finished. turn the lights down low, pour myself something to sip on, couple hits and kick the recliner back and let it rip.

man, i can't wait for that day. hopefully by summer!

he's gota ton of ray charles stuff. really cool!

I'd really like to start building a vinyl collection once I graduate from college and find more spacious quarters. A quality turn table and a hookah are the first two things on my agenda. I don't think anything will beat listening to some vintage Santana or Miles Davis on vinyl while enjoying fine Turkish flavored tobacco.

P.s. I think that I'm going to start a thread about hookahs.

I have 2 albums on vinyl. Pink Floyd DSOTM first pressing with both orig posters, and a Wall double album. both in great condition.

speaking of Ray-Ray..

i wonder if this is real,ha.

I have a big vinyl collection of between 5,000 and 6,000 albums. If anybody is looking for something on vinyl, let me know, I might have it or know somebody who has a copy.

i've said it once and i'll say it again...everything sounds better on vinyl

Man...this guy was offered $28 million over nine years ago and he turned it down. Then he puts it on ebay for $3 million and it sells for $3,002,000 and change...that was a bad business decision he made nine years ago!

moxham123 · Post by **moxham123** » Thursday Feb 21, 2008

That came out to less than $1.00 per record or CD. Not bad for the person who bought it.

I don't think he was selling it primarily for financial reasons. He wanted a museum or a smilar organization to buy it. I think that he has a serious passion for the collection and wants to be sure that it's enjoyed by people who will appreciate it after he's gone.

We need more people who respect music, especially musical media like that, in this world.
