Decluttr ranks 54th among Consignment sites. Reviewers complaining about Decluttr most frequently mention customer service, good condition, and phone number problems. The behemoths – Tower Records, Virgin Megastores, Our Price – all vanished eventually, but we still have the music we bought there. Decluttr has a rating of 1.15 stars from 238 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally dissatisfied with their purchases. Some even still have the price stickers from shops long since closed (RIP, The Longplayer Tunbridge Wells). For some of us, they are a physical manifestation of youth a disc-by-disc autobiography.
Of course, there are sentimental reasons for holding on to our CDs, too. In a drawer under the bed, however, your trusty copy of Now 33 will always be waiting. Protect the valuable documents in fireproof lockable storage boxes that you can access in case of emergency. What if, as happened last month with a number of K-pop songs on Spotify, the music we hold dear and listen to every day suddenly disappears? Or, worse, what if in 15 years’ time, the streaming services fold altogether? We will be bereft, and our Songs to Cry To playlist will be inaccessible. Examples of documents you absolutely need to keep in a safe place include wills, warranties, financial papers, tax returns for the past five years (or seven years for complicated returns), various licenses, and insurance papers. They remain covetable only as part of deluxe eight-disc box sets containing five to 75 versions of the same song.īut is it safe to destroy your collection? With a monthly streaming subscription, or even the likes of iTunes, we are paying for a licence to listen to the music, not ownership of the music itself. CDs are unlikely to enjoy such a renaissance: they are inherently unlovable, with none of the richness or tactile nature of vinyl, or the kooky, Urban Outfitters irony of tapes.
Will millennials be putting themselves in the same position? Vinyl has seen a resurgence in sales surpassing any expectations even the cassette tape – the clunkiest format since the shellac disc – has seen a comeback. They gaze longingly at Discogs, masochistically checking how much that Boney M picture disc is worth now. We have heard the vinyl regret stories from the boomers: “should have held on to that’ “a much richer sound”.
For the best part of a year now, it’s been time for a clearout: so as we edge back to something resembling a normal life, dare we take the ultimate decluttering step and eschew our CD collections? Go browse or sit and read/play on my phone while they cull through to get a price, and then move on to next errand.And here millennials sit, following begrudgingly in the boomers’ wake, at the centre of a generational Venn diagram: in the unique position of having CDs, vinyl and iTunes and streaming. Instead, I take in a large bin of books/movies when I know I have other errands in the area. Sounds like too much time for me to waste. I'm not into selling things online because it's a super hassle for me to go through and price each thing, then print out shipping labels, assemble packing, and drop for mailing. I don't sell on Craigslist because it's too dangerous in my city (string of armed holdups and even assaults from Craigslist over the stupidest things). If you live in a reasonable sized town/city, you likely still have something similar. Walk out with cash and any discards I feel might still be worth something I take to the local library. Second gives very little (they do sell things for half price or less off, so they can't offer much). First one gives better offers, but is much more selective.

We have two options in our large city: a place called Movie Exchange and a chain called Half Price Books (which does buy books, movies, VHS, CDs and even vinyl).
