For some reason i'm thinking about selling the remains of my Metal collection (been selling off my metal CD's slowly for years and trading them for rock/prog/jazz albums). Lately i've nuts about Jazz, and thinking about selling all my Megadeth, Metallica, queensryche & fates warning CD's to get money to buy Coltrane, Mingus, Brubeck etc... albums instead. And í already have money problems after buying tons of records lately... Sleepy

So should i sell metal albums to get $$ to spend right away on jazz albums instead?
Or should i just wait until i have more money and not lose any CD's?

1. Yes, get rid of all your metal collection.
2. Don't go nuts on buying tons of records.

I sold a couple hundred of my CDs once when I really needed the cash.  I probably didn't have much choice at the time, but many times I've regretted doing it.  I guess it really has to do with how badly you need the cash.  If possible, hold onto your metal CDs. is my advice.

1. No and 2. yes, bonus answer: maybe.

The problem with selling off stuff is that the stuff you'd most like to part with won't usually fetch what you put into it.

Also I've been crazy all my life but I wouldn't recommend it...

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Don't sell any albums, you'll surely miss them later.

But if you do, I'm getting your out-of-print Black Sabbath albums.
It's on PA!

Pretty sure i won't, and even if i do, it won't be my out-of-print Sabbath albums Wink
It's not uncommon to see auctions with "Forbidden", "TYR" & "Headless Cross" going for over 100kr ($15 or €10) each (when they show up, which in itself is rare)
