So, a couple years ago, I went through and scanned every CD cover. I then ripped every CD to lossless format. The CD collection was sold off. Well, only 2/3 of it actually sold.

I still firmly believe in the physical medium, so anytime I buy new music, I buy the original CD, used. I then scan and rip, then put it on the shelf. I may do another big sell-off someday, but for now, I am regretting what I have already sold. Not enough to buy it all back, though.
I once sold about 120 CDs all at once, got about $150.

Not only do I miss a lot of the music I got rid of, but a lot of those albums are out of print and now worth about $40-$50. I'm still kicking myself for that one.

That does seem like a poor move.

My Ebay sales netted me around $1500. I sold around 125 of my ~200 CD collection. Still not worth it.
