Selling my stash
It's finally time to sell my record collection. I sorted through everything and set aside what I didn't want to sell. Once I alphabetized everything, I looked at my "keep" pile, bit my lip, then put them in with the rest. I've had trouble letting go of sentimental objects in the past, but that's something that I need to get over - bye bye records... every single one.
I have 151 records to sell. Among them are some rare and fairly sought-after, and some are very sentimental to me. Among the rare:
-New Order "Blue Monday" 12" single, original pressing
-New Order first Peel session, flawless
-David Bowie "Aladdin Sane" first RCA American pressing, near mint
-Kraftwerk "Computerwelt" first pressing German import
-Kraftwerk "Autobahn" first pressing
The Sentimental:
-All of my Depeche Mode, Soft Cell (how did I get two copies of the 'Tainted Love/Where Did our Love Go?' 12" maxis?), New Order, Bauhaus, OMD, David Bowie, and Kraftwerk
I look at some of the things in my collection and think "I can't believe I bought this... I can't believe I used to listen to this!" I won't even mention the records...
This makes me feel kind of sad, but I feel happy and relieved to get rid of things I don't need and have put far behind me.
I'm also selling my electric guitar. It's also a sentimental object; it was a present to myself after my dad died and after I graduated high school. I've really put guitar behind me and I never want to go back.

Where are you selling all of this?
I sold the records at Amoeba Hollywood and I sold my guitar on craigslist. A nice young man from Beverly Hills drove all the way to my house to pick up the guitar. I've always had good luck selling to nice people on craigslist.
