Wow...3 million albums...Let's see if I started listening to them today and played them for 8 hours a day that would take approximately...



































600 years, not to mention how many turntables and stylus/cartridge combinations it would wear out...

what a bummer.



but it is ridiculous to sell something that retarded and hope no stupid shit like this gets pulled off towards the end. i think he should have just given up if he couldnt sell them over the past decade. or atleast sell the most valuable ones and donate the rest.

I read an article a couple months ago that said retailers like Best Buy and other would be selling vinyl records again because of a renewed interest. h:
