Page 1 of the end of an era (a.k.a I`m too old and I`m selling my turntables and records)

well.. I knew It would have to happen at some point.. not enough room.. too many records.. too many dvds.. too much star wars stuff... etc.. etc..

so if any of you want to take advantage..

anyone done soemthing similar and regreted it? I sold a load of newer start wars stuff last year.. and i haven`t regreted that.. so I`m hoping this will be the same..

now. just another 1,000 + records to put on ebay..

gave all my transformers toys to oxfam when i was about 16 (all boxed all original super condition 1st generation editions) never bothered me at the time but hurts like hell now :( cos i know my son would have loved to play with em.

I`ve got a watch on one of them.

I gave away ALL my star wars stuff (most of the ships and playsets and almost a complete collection of figures) when I was about 15 and my mum decided I was `too old for toys` ..all I kept was a handfull of figures and a boxed speeder bike. All my ships were mint and boxed Ive never regretted anything more in my life :(

As for selling my `ones and twos` and my vinyl collection I dont think I could ..I could maybe part with a few hundred but I have far too many `classics` that I dont think I`ll ever part with, they hold too many memories of good times

I just sent you a PM..

Jeez, Just been on a right old trip down memory lane looking at those haggis! Oh those memories of teenage fumblings to Rufus & Chaka @ the youthy. Even had the obligatory "ghetto blaster" mounted on shoulder with Bauer roller hockey boots & a Raleigh Pro Burner / HARO Freestyler when some of those were doing the rounds!! :D :D

Don`t look, don`t look, don`t look....

Ah crap, I clicked the link. Now I`ll have to put some of those vinyls into my watch list, and possibly remember they`re in my list and buy them in a few days time... Perhaps its time I got myself a bigger room... :)

After Uni I found myself buying less and less records. Especially with the prices going up seemingly every week. My vinyl collection is a whos who of drum + bass and breakz and beats circa 94 - 2001. With a very light smattering of tunes from 2002.

I ended up lending my decks to my younger brother who has them on the proviso I can have them back at any time with replacement styli (?). He still plays out a fair bit, whereas im a bot of a homebody. I drag a few record boxes over to a house party now and again, but I havent mixed regularly for a while. But I couldnt sell my decks. It would leave me with a knawing feeling in my stomach. Third hand 1210`s, but still prostine despite pints flying over them and me catching the DMC mixing championship bug. I can still rock a party and do a fairly impressive 3 deck session (4 with my mate wellz) but since I cant afford to buy enough vinyl to stay current, im a bit of a retro student oddity.

i`m already having second thoughts... i may cancel the auction
