22 compilation CDs - what are they worth approximately?

Okay ... now I got 22 compilation CDs here ... some of them might be worth something as some of them are already quite old. I don't know, but I wanna know. I am not intending to sell them now, but maybe one day ... I just wanna know what I have here ... so I'd be very hapy if some people could estimate what that stuff might bring on the market ... just approximately. I might need money one day and then I better know what of this stuff I can sell for some money (like ... >10 Euros) and what for just peanuts. Probably it might not bring too much, since it's all just compilations ... but I think the old ones might be worth something.

The condition of the stuff is not mint, but just very little used. No scratches - not even minor ones - on the discs.

The CDs are:

Mauro Picotto - Metamorphose
Trancemaster 2005
Trancemaster 2009
Rave Now! - vol. 13
Rave Mission - The Dream Edition
Tranceporter 3
Future Trance - vol. 4
Future Trance - vol. 6
Future Trance - vol. 7
Future Trance - vol. 8
Future Trance - vol. 9
Future Trance - vol. 10
Future Trance - vol. 15
Dream Dance - vol. 2
Dream Dance - vol. 4
Dream Dance - vol. 13
Time X - vol. 6
Club Sounds - vol. 9
DJ Convention - vol. 2
DJ Convention - Herbststurm
DJ Convention - Code Eleven
Biosphere vol. 1

opinions wanted ... please!

the Future Trance CDs are not worth a jack shit since they are full of cheesy eurodance ala Scooter, Rocco etc.

Well, that's unfortunately true. But maybe the old ones such as 4, 6, 7 are worth a bit? For "retro eurodance" fans?
I know that none of these compilations can be worth really much money since it's all (except maybe the Trancemaster, the Mauro Picotto and the Rave Now and the Rave Mission ones) very commercial crap trance/eurodance stuff.
I just thought that the old ones, such as Dream Dance vol. 2 or 4 or the old Future Trances or whatever could bring at least some money...

It depends on how rare and how exclusive the material on those comps are. If you can find any number of the same songs elsewhere, they won't be worth much at all, and then there has to be something truely unique sounding on it (like some brand new style of micro-house techno, or something). Maybe to ardent collectors of those particular series they might be worth a bit more but I wouldn't count on it if they were widely distrubted to the point you could find them in 1 out of 20 used shops.

oh?
hmmm...
I can understand him ... back then I too was some sort of colletor. Haha, back then I'd also have paid 20 Euro or so for each of the volumes 1, 2, 3 or 5
After 10 I used to have 11 and 12 too, but I sold them pretty fast, because I didn't like them. And then I sorta gave up to collect, only the 15, that was the last one I bought.

Any Dream Dance collectors around? I'd wonder what they'd pay for the Volumes 2 or 4 :P

Or DJ Convention?
Volume 2 anyone?
It's even good, that CD ... Retro, you know

Interesting thread. Afaik, nothing too rare in there, but maybe you'll get lucky and find that one guy that needs that one TM to complete his collection. Hope you do.

Anyone have any idea if this was a good investment?:

Ferr - Looking Forward [cd] (1996)
.http://www.discogs.com/release/42105
