This massive DJ record collection contains approximately 1,600 vinyl 12"s and LPs from all genres of electronic music (most from the mid/late 90s, up to 2005), including House, Techno, D&B, Electro, Breaks, Trance, Progressive (though I still have no idea what that term means...), Dub, Breaks, etc...you name it, it's in here!
The records are from a recently defunct retailer, and the majority are in VG+ (Very Good+) to NM (Near Mint) condition, with many having never been opened or played. As is it former retail stock, there are multiple copies of some items - this collection would be best suited for someone who is looking to open a used record store (physical or online), or who would like to add to existing stock.
My reason for selling is that I had these aspirations myself, but simply don't have the space to store it all. I've listed part of the collection on discogs (username Harmonika), and most items are saleable between $5 - $10, with several collector's items ($20 - $60) in the mix.
Please do not inquire about individual records, as I am looking to sell the entire lot at once. At $3200, this works out to $2 a record, which is a great deal by any standard - however, I am open to *reasonable* offers (lowballers will be laughed at derisively...). Pictured below is part of the collection, with another, nearly full cabinet up for grabs. Please be aware that the cabinets themselves are not for sale, and that the collection is pick-up (downtown Toronto), only.
Please contact me via PM or email siddhis-r-us at hotmail dot com with any further questions. Thanks for looking!

Hey there! I've pared down the collection by a considerable amount, and removed most of the dreck (classic rock and such - Rod Stewart picture disc, anyone?). There are now roughly 1200 records in the lot, and the asking price has been lowered to $2000 OBO. Again, please no inquiries about individual records - it's all or none!
Also, in taking a more in-depth inventory, I've noticed that there's a fair bit of Hip-Hop, Rap, Reggae and Urban Jazz/Downtempo to be had, as well as the aforementioned genres in the original post.
PM or contact siddhis-r-us at hotmail dot com with any further inquiries! |

| if you really wanted to sell themn right you should post a list no matter how long it takes so people knoe exactly what they are getting...that's my advice |

Selling them "right"? I didn't realise there was an improper way to sell vinyl...
Thanks for the advice, but I'm selling them as a lot precisely to avoid having to sort them, as I specified in my original post. If I have to start sorting them by genre, and listing them, then I'm going to end up selling them for $3-$5 a record - my time doesn't come free. Then people will start bitching, "But you originally listed them at $1.50 apiece!". And of course, if I start selling them by lot, then I'll be inundated with nickle-and-dime PMs along the lines of "Can I just buy such-and-such from you? I'll give ya $2!" F*ck that action...
I've been buying and selling music for 20+ years - I'm already well aware of how to play the game, and I have more than sufficient patience to wait for the right person to come along...
cheers,
i. |

| If these aren't sold by the end of the month, they're going to have to go into storage for a while, so the asking price has been dropped to $1800 - an even $1.50 a record! |

Collection is now pared down to approx 1000 records and it's time to let the rest go for a song. $800 or best reasonable offer - lowballers will be ignored. At less than $1/record, this is perfect for a used record/ebay retailer looking to bump up their stock. Please do not inquire about individual titles or ask me if you can pick through - it's all or nothing. Pick up & cash only, located downtown west end, near High Park. Shelves not included.

*bump*
Still available, $500 takes the lot - in no hurry to sell, waiting for a serious buyer. |
