CDs are great sellers. Cheap to buy(usually), easy to list and easy to ship. I bought 2000 mostly import classical music CDs from 1984 to mid 90s for 400 bucks and 100+ 90s hiphop/rap CDs for only 30 bucks. Several sold for as little as 3 but some have sold for as much as 100+ dollars while most got for 5 to 25. I use card board as stiffeners taped to both sides and then shipped in padded envelopes with zero issues. Its a great way to make use of excess card board you might have laying around. Buy a cheap paper cutting board and make a bunch of stiffeners when you can.

It drives me nuts when people say the CD format is "dead". CDs are not dead... CD even stands for "Cheated Death". CDs (including CDRs & CDRWs) and MDs (especially Hi-MDs) are the best formats ever. Vinyl LPs and cassettes are great for nostalgia (I grew up with both, so I have a wee soft spot for both, especially tapes, even 8-tracks), but let's face it - they sound like crap with all the surface noise (snaps crackles & pops - is it a record, or a bowl of Rice Krispies?) and tape hiss, not to mention the capacity restrictions and physical vulnerabilities. The most redeeming quality of the vinyl LP, however, is the album art - full size, allowing appreciation of finer detail. I tell ya, if they could package CDs in cases closer to LP size, with recordable/edit options of MD (divide/combine tracks, move tracks, name/rename tracks/disc, erase/hide tracks) and the capacity options of double-length cassettes (100-120 mins or slightly more per disc), you'd have a winning format across the board.

Hello Don. Great to see someone such as yourself talking about C.D.s and how rare they are. I sold all of my vinyl to a crab fisherman for over 30,000 in 1987. I already had a few rare CDs back in the early days when Japan started to make them. Also, American CDs are made in Japan but sold in America. Anyway. I had over 4000 CDs. After being on eBay for 21 years now I am down to around 28,000 in stock. I am so glad a guy like you started to go on KZfaq and talk about CDs because I hate the way the record stores closed down and destroyed a wonderful adventure of collecting music. I have Subscribed so now I will be watching you from now on. Great video. All The Best Don.

Technically CDs are still the it format. This addresses the same problem that Hollywood is having when all the major companies are putting their TV shows and movies on streaming services. A download is nice, but getting the hard copy is worth paying for in the long run. What I appreciate about this video is that you actually did the research..... I've been buying stuff on eBay since 2004, that's a good 20 years, and eBay really is the king of second hand shopping. The same thing applies to movies as much as it does for CDs, but THE best way to build up your collection is going on the store locator and looking up shops like Second Sale and Declutter, and they rarely send you the wrong disc or movie. They'll list great artists and movies for five, six, seven dollars, and I've done this countless times when I've gotten onto a second hand seller and grabbed four, five, six movies or CDs a pop. Now what you're talking about is the opposite, where if you're wanting to find that specific album, don't just check the listings, check the shops that deal with older tunes. You're talking about the rare of the rarest CDs, but depending on what you're after, be willing to pay 30 60 or 70 dollars a disc, because once they're gone, they're gone, but I've got my own set of OOP discs....nice to have.

The most expensive CD I ever bought was the 1983 edition of Platinum Blonde: Standing in the Dark for $60 back in 2002. I had wanted to get it for some years, but it always showed up on Ebay for between $60 - $80, so I bit the bullet and spent the money. So of course, in 2010, it was finally reissued and remastered on CD and you can pretty much buy it anywhere now. But I'm still glad I have the original. I also paid about the same price for Steve Kilbey: Remindlessness, also in 2002, which was also reissued, with extra tracks, later the same year! However, the cover art on the original is much better (on the reissue it came out very dark, and you can't see the details), so I'm still glad I got the original of that, as well.

CDs are the main item I source. I'm in several audio discord and FB groups and have seen a lot more talk about buying CDs. Vinyl is getting so expensive, so as the economy slows down, people are seeing CDs as a great alternative.

You've got a great collection of Satyricon flyers in the video. Do you happen to have any with Cruella from the 80s? I was in the band. Of course most of that stuff got lost to history.

Any idea what an original pressing of Moon River Rock or Palm Tree Girls goes for? There's a new shirt with a really complicated pattern on it I'm dying to get and I need some serious scratch to get it.

Great video thank you... But how do you know if you have valuable CD's. I have some Bang & Olufsen promo CD's. They where never released to the public and only given out if asked for at special events. As an example a special recording of Duke Ellington which was only compiled on this CD. Obviously the scarcity would not allow normal price discovery... So how do you know?

I noticed a CD version of Weird Al's Peter and the Wolf/Carnival Of the Animals running at around $750 (for an autographed copy)... On average about $350...(in the original sleeve a bit higher)... This is my Weird Al holy grail...if I can snag it for a dollar at any venue...

How much is a CD devalued if it is used, but still in perfect condition, and the long box has been opened?

Nice video. If anyone is looking for a rare cd, I would recommend checking discogs first. haha

Most of my most expensive stuff is vinyl but I've some rare CDs. The most expensive seems to be Scott Lark, Razzle Dazzle. I got it maybe 20 years ago. I've never seen another one but have seen it for sale for £450 which is absurd.

Are original cd long box packages collectable without the cd's? Just because I'm a collector I saved a plethora o' these.

@carch7243 3 ай бұрын

One of the main reasons for the long boxes was to deter theft. A regular cd can easily fit in a pocket. Another reason was to try to compete with album art, which can never be beaten, but they try.

There is a lot of money in jazz CDs, if you know which ones to take. The audiophile reissues and Mosaic historical reissues are the good ones to look for, but nearly any decent jazz CD will sell.
