The best ebay winning ever = "the Unveiling"

New thread dedicated to slowly unveiling my freshly arrived package of over 200 CDs I got for 30 bucks. (Hopefully all this hype doesn't turn out to be another Geraldo Rivera opening Al Capone's vault) 

Step 1. The package- 
Arriving in a box that says "Dog Sled" "Adult Assembly Required" 

It's 15.4 pounds ! 
Or 6.9 Kilograms for the rest of you 

First impression - getting excited 

You are such a jerk for not just showing it all already!  The suspense!  The mystery!

First handful yields some really cool titles I don't have yet - only a few in cases, those are in great shape. First disappointment is the ones in the sleeves are void of the back cover insert. Seems what he did was tear off each spine from the cd tray image and use them to ID the albums. Some cds are like new, others have seen better days. Kinda expected this for the incredibly cheap price - so I can't complain. 

Sorry pix are sideways.... I'm on my cell phone

Definitely yard sale material. I've already scored more than 30 I really wanted and They're in beautiful shape. So I got my money's worth for sure.  The rest will go into my yard sale pile - many are in bad shape, and all the ones in sleeves have no back tray art.

Don't forget my Jars CD's you want

Are u still interested in cds from this haul if they're in the shape I've described ?

Sure thing...

The collector in me is weeping due to the fact that there are some old old classic albums in here that would've been such a killer score if the owner didn't rip the back tray art apart and throw it away. 
I didn't have high expectations for what I paid, but still, why would anyone do that to their collection ? Oh my !

There are a couple websites where you can scan/print back inserts.

I know several people who put their cds in sleeve binders and completely tossed the artwork (front, back and the case).  One of the guys who worked a local cd store said he used to love it when those people would bring in their binder with 200+ cds and ask how much the store would buy them for.  He would always look them dead in the eye and say "Sorry fella, we wouldn't take them for free, they are useless for resale".

Exactly my point ! Collectors want the complete package -and in very good shape. There are several that I'm gonna rip a copy of, but they're not worth the space in my physical collection.

I thought this thread would be about getting a Rev Seven album for an amazing price. Oops.
