As some of you know since 1998 I have been selling my massive record collection on ebay-Since that time I have sold over 20,000 records however this is still less than a third of my collection. I am realizing I do not have time to sell all of these individually ... I have thousands of Lp's and 45's all types in random order in boxes in my garage and storage shed. When it comes time to list ebay items I go to the garage or shed pull down a box or two and pull items I feel are a good mix for that week's auctions. In spite of years of doing this I am still overrun with records largely because I once had more records stored in my house which have been shifted to the garage and shed. I still intend to sell on ebay but I am running out of room for even my ebay supplies. I am sellling EVERY RECORD and BOX Of Records shown in these photos(over 10,000). There are 45's and Lp's of every type and era. Most lp's are 1960's and early 1970's.

Yeah, part of it is also a compulsion to prove a point that people shouldn't judge others based on where they're from... I mean, I could pass for a Marylander, or, hell, LA native at this point, but I'll never try. So it's part self-aggrandization, part evangelism (although nowhere near as bad as either of those things sound).
