    I’ve commented this before…you sound like a great husband and father. As the father of an autistic son myself I know how important it is to be there for them. I love your passion for vinyl but I love your passion for being a good person even more.

    My collection is almost 7,500 records. I'm at a stage in my life where I'm starting to think of selling most of my collection off. With the market really high right now it is just another push in that direction. Hard decisions ahead!

      If you think you’ll regret don’t do it. When it feels right you know it’s time. I still love my records including the ones I sold. I’ve kept a few and I’ll probably buy others but priorities shift in life. It’s nice to know someone else will now have them and treasure them for a time.

    Dillon, thanks for sharing your story. You seem to keep a healthy perspective on life and obviously love what you do. Your record videos are my favorites. I feel like we’re sitting down at a table as friends and you’re telling stories. I really appreciate the knowledge you share with this community. But most of all, your love for your family is most apparent which is the most important thing you could ever have! Thanks for keepin’ it real bro!

    I lost my entire collection when I went to prison. Word on the street was a bunch of meth heads broke into my pad while I was fighting my case a wiped me out. Honestly I didn't care. I was fighting Life and had a new born daughter that was ripped away from me too soon. As the years went by I would think about the records I once owned and felt relieved that I didn't have to worry about them anymore. No more renting storage units or breaking my back when moving them around. But nowadays I'm free, I found my daughter and got bit by the record bug again. Slowly I'm getting all my gems back. My daughter joins me sometimes when I go record shopping.

    One thing that I've always loved about you and your videos is your willingess to be truthful and straight foward, no matter how others might see it. I appreciate everything you've done and continue to do for the vinyl community and myself. There are those out there who put so much time, energy, and effort into video production, look and super ego to gain viewers and followers, etc. but you have always delivered the goods on a much more low-fi approach that is relateable to the masses. Thank you for sharing your stories, your life experiences, and the ups and downs of this crazy world with us. Love you brother! Billy-

    I had about 2,000 records and sold them almost all at once for financial reasons after I was married with 2 kids. Once they were gone, I looked at where they used to be and seeing that empty space broke my heart. So I slowly started building another collection after I got divorced and now my son goes record hunting with me. I passed the bug onto him. But sometimes you just do what you have to do. Thanks for your story Dillon.

      This isn’t about selling my record collection as such
      But after my split with my Children’s Mother
      I got rid of very sentimental items from my late family
      It’s breaking my heart to this day ☹️
      We do silly things when our minds are all over the place
      I thing I got right is I never sold my Records
      Only a few But I’ve re purchased them all now 👌🏻
      Anyways Thanks for sharing 👍🏻

  • @RnR-Rebel

    Tifs your story! You’re spot on, it’s about priorities! We had a fire in our house 3 weeks ago (no vinyl was harmed😉) & main thing is we’re all safe. We’d lost many of our memories in a basement flood close to 20 years ago so had moved whatever was left into the room that had the fire. It breaks my heart as there’s family heirlooms, memories, our collections (hubbys 60s/70s comic collection), my research library (I’m an author/writer, some books over 200 years old) that might be gone forever but in the end it’s all “stuff”. We’re going thru the process of trying to salvage what we can but already decided to downsize in general- pictures work for memories, don’t need “stuff” (even tho I’m super sentimental). Bless you & your family, I’m sure it’s been difficult. I’m glad they’re talking more about autism as they’re able to find more out. I’m 62, recently found out I’m likely on the autistic spectrum, wild right? Cheers! 🧡🎸🎶⚡️

    I got into collecting records early after getting a job at 15 in a local jazz record shop. I sold my collection of rare jazz, soul and funk records when I was turned 21 to buy an apartment. That was the best thing I have ever done and now 26 years later I still own that spot and have a 3 times bigger collection. I would not hesitate to sell it again if I needed to. The hunt is the most fun part for me :)

    Came across your channel today and I am learning so much. My Dad passed away last month and I am going through his record collection. I know what you mean about how going through your albums bring up memories. We shared a love of all kinds of music so it really hit me lots of tears and smiles. Thank you for inspiring me, you are awesome!

    Dillon, you are my go to guy when it comes to vinyl record collection. I don’t have ambitions of opening a store, but I love hearing you talk about your collections, the hunt, the relationships you make. It’s inspiring and a lot of fun to see someone at the top of their game. I collect to listen not to own or sell. HOWEVER I do feel like I’m starting to change a bit and now am looking for better more expensive and “sellable” records. Still it’s all about my enjoyment. I started over the lockdown and now have over 700 albums and The hook is sunk deeeeep. Im 54 and retiring from teaching PE next year. Can’t wait to collect as a retiree. Omg goodbye pension. Haha. Love it. Keep it up.

    I’ve heard you tell your story a few times on here and I always watch it all the way through. I love records but I deeply appreciate finding the connection between the things I love and the philosophy or psychology that underlays whatever it is. Records are an interesting one for sure. Big ups to what you’re doin man. You’ve progressed my music taste by a lot of years beyond where it would be had I not subed.
    Cheers to you and the noble records fam.

    I relocated in 2012 and had to sell all my vinyl. I just couldn't afford the shipping charge for all that vinyl. The good thing is that in 09 I started to get all that vinyl in a digital format and the ones that I could not find I burned the vinyl myself to disc. Now in 2022 I look at the cost of vinyl and I can't believe it but I have no regrets at all. I like the digital world for music for me it makes life easier.

  • @mariocavazosvela2183

    I have mixed feelings about my collecting records habit. I feel a bit of shame because I think of all the time record shopping and money spent. It is time and money I could have spent doing something more "productive". Then I think that the time and money spent has saved me from becoming depressed and that it has eased my anxiety. So in a way record shopping has been my therapy. Another aspect is that looking back I realized that records I paid $9 or $15 are now worth $45 or even $150 and I go like "wow, great investment". So I don't know when and if I'll ever sell my collection. Sometimes I think I'll die and somebody will cash in. Damn! LOL

    • @mdekeyser82
      @mdekeyser82 2 года назад +1

      I think today we have the very nasty habit to consider everything as an investment.
      I have about 1000 records fluctuating in value. There a few if I am to believe Discogs are worth a few hundred Euros in my case.
      I still remember when people just gave away their vinyls for a few Euros per box.
      Today, it selling again but the industry to take the business in hand and we already see that they are messing it up. There is already fatigue in some lp enthusiasts.
      Used lp's also soared through the roof. Why sellers asking insane prices for really bad pressings or really worn out records.
      Should we think that our kids, going to make beaucoup money? Nothing is more uncertain.
      I would sell my records online, one at a time. It will take time and effort.
      As long as we don't want to monetize our collections, we should just enjoy it for the music and nothing else. In a year, lp's can be out of fashion again. If the music industry, milk the cow too much. What they are known to do.

    Collecting records, music in various formats as well as memorabilia are very very important to me and my well being as a hobby. A hobby that allows me time for myself that has kept me from allowing myself to get caught up in unhealthy habits. First and foremost is my family while having a hobby that I really enjoy (I cant explain the feeling and joy it brings) keeps me grounded and a better grounded individual to give back to my family, I hope this makes sense. A very good video this was, take care, keep on collecting, enjoy the music while remaining content because the more content you are the better person you will be to others around you, and really enjoy your channel.

    my house was robbed twice back in the early 2000's, both times, my records survived... Both times I realised how lucky I was & how devastated I'd be if my records were gone.. While I've had numerous times I could have done with the money I'd invested in the records, every time I've managed to scrape by financially, & while I have sold many records over the years, (the 'crappy' ones) I've never ever sold them all... Money is so temporary, fleeting & can be gone so quickly, while the records are forever! Music is life! Thanks for sharing your experiences... Hopefully the collection is stronger than ever!

Kudos to you for being able to determine what has priority in your life, your records or your family. I don't think you will ever regret putting the needs of your family first. Thank you for the great video!

    Hey Dylan, that was a very touching and personal story you just shared with us, and I thank you for that. You are absolutely right on all fronts! Family is EVERYTHING!!! And compared to that, records are worthless! I have a decent sized collection that I have been building on since I was 9 or 10 years old. I am now 46, so that's a long time that some of these LPs have been with me. I would sell them all today if it meant taking care of my family, bar none! I hope that day never has to come, but that's a bridge to be crossed when it comes! Your story struck a nerve with me and I respect you very much for sharing it! Thanks so much, and all the best to you and yours!
    Cheers

    It’s a really admirable story. I can relate in sense with just getting married. My wife and I started life together last fall and still feel like we are drowning. It’s encouraging to know there’s people out there who have dealt with the same thing and made it through. Never met you but I can tell you got a heart of gold. Not sure if you are or not but you definitely seem like a man of God and virtue. Your record collection and you continue to be an inspiration to me 👍

    What a great message. I recently started my own business and the deal I made with myself was that if I needed money for the home or for the business, I would part with my collection. This video is comforting to hear that you can bounce back and that there are more important things to life than just vinyl. Priorities.
    I will be visiting you when that time comes to sell, I’m sure to keep my business a float I’ll have to.

    This is so incredibly relatable to me in the current time. Although my personal collection is only 300 records, I've been selling hundreds on discogs for the last year. I decided to stay home with my two toddler girls almost a year ago and it was an enormous sacrifice. At that same time I decided to start collecting to sell. It's made me realize a lot about myself and why I listen to music. It's also made me miss my own personal collection and actually sitting down and listening to it (I'm sure anyone who sells and collects understands this, lol) At a crossroads my friend, I appreciate the video!

Can't wait to visit your shop - hopefully next year!

    What you speak about is so true across the entire spectrum of collecting things. Each category is important to us as individuals as tokens to times in the past. Those items take us back to good or bad experiences and are like bookmarks in our lives. Outside of that, they have value to others similarly and they will garner money depending on the demand. No matter what, they excite, comfort and amplify the joys we find in life. Thanks for doing this video.

    Great story and yes, it’s hard to sell off a habit that you enjoy collecting, including records. As much as you enjoy the hobby of buying records, family comes first as always.
    For me, nothing major is happening now. But when that time comes it’s going to be a very hard decision for me to sell records, even when I started collecting last year. Most to what I own are very cheap, except for some that I owned new. It’ll be tough but then again, anything precious isn’t worth having for long. You just gotta do what you have to do.

    Hello, have always enjoyed your videos and admired the courage it must have taken to start your own store. That has always been a dream of mine. I've been collecting since the 70's and my wife always says I should just open a store with my collection. As a father of an 18 year old son with a dual diagnosis of autism/Down syndrome this video really hits home. The isolation part is so true. Fortunately, I never have had to sell my collection, but I did quit buying for a number of years. Your videos are always inspiring, but this video is especially wonderful.

    Thank you so much for this man, sold my entire collection for a percent of their worth during the pandemic due to dire financial reasons, about 500 of my dad's original 70s-80s collection including original stones and beatles stuff,
    Definitely a mental battle in the beginning but enjoying the more important things in life, maybe some day I'll collect myself when I become successful haha, take it easy brother much love!

    Great video! I have struggled in my life whether to keep my records during rough times and especially during moves. So far, so good... I've managed to lug my collection around with me from Japan to the US, then from the US to Poland, and now I am moving to France. (I have a collection in Canada that I had to leave behind, and I still don't know how I will reunite everything yet). This move is really a test of my resolve, but I figure as long as I have the will and the circumstances to lug them with me, I'll continue doing so. I think moving-related inconvenience is not a good excuse, but if I didn't take this opportunity BECAUSE I had records that I could't take with me, that would start being a problem.
    As I get older, I'm starting to wonder at what point in my life will I stop wanting to acquire and start selling it off, though. My girlfriend and I just broke up, and the records are providing much-needed comfort, so now is certainly not the time. But in the future, maybe I'll be married, maybe I'll have kids, maybe the records won't be as important? I think every collector asks themselves these questions at some point.

    And yes, things change when you get married. I had to sell my drumset when I got married, and I really loved that drumset.
    Now that I have a small record collection, I don't think I could sell it, but you never know. Things changes always for good.

    Early last year, I moved from Detroit to Jacksonville. After some thought, I sold off my entire vinyl collection instead of moving it with me. The cool thing is that I worked out a great deal with a local store, that I knew would handle the whole collection well. They've had great success with selling all the rare stuff I had, so that makes me happy too.

    I admire that, I kept my records through a divorce (in the middle of a 20 year hiatus of buying them), had a few stolen in that time, and recently have begun buying again like never before. I get to much enjoyment out of them to sell them all. Will I sell a few here and there? Sure. I recently got rid of a dozen or so, things I knew I would never listen to again, and traded them for some that I really wanted. Your videos are one of then things that actually got me buying vinyl again. Really reminded me how much I loved it. Thanks

  • @londonrecordlover965
    @londonrecordlover965 2 года назад

    Dillon this is a great video and who could argue with your central point that there are more important things in life than records and if the records have to be sold to support those other things, so be it. That’s wisdom right there. HOWEVER… I do think it should be a last resort! If you are a record collector there is just something uniquely special and personal about one’s own collection and the journey through life that it reflects. It’s autobiographical. I guess I would sell most of my records if I absolutely had to but probably with bitterness I would regret it later I’m sure. Just being honest!

    Heya Dylan! Love your vids as always, specialty these 'story time' vid. As I work in media may I offer a suggestion.. as you have updated your set & quality of vids recently, please invest in a lapel mic - it will make these vids really pop once you do. Remember mate, audio can be more important than the vid quality. Hope you don't mind my suggestions as your channel is SO good to watch man. Cheers :)

    Great story I had similar situation with my cds. A very eclectic selection which I gave to charity when I moved house, I do miss them but makes me feel good to know some youngsters are picking them up and hearing some excellent music for the first time that can’t afford them brand new and maybe starting their own band :) I got a turntable for my 40th and now I’m record collecting and it’s like the adult version of my young self collecting again :) my daughters have access now to mind blowing music when they’re older:) split up with partner? I have just the record! Feeling sad? - I have the record, want to party? - I have the record 😎 etc ha ha

    I'm at that point. I have a MFSL "Dark Side of the Moon" I bought new in Reno, NV in June 1980. It has never seen a stylus upon it. After 42 years, I'm guessing that it and the rest of my collection need to go to someone who will play and cherish them.

    I loved collecting vinyl in the early 1980's as a kid when Sam Goody had the letter system for pricing, e.g. J is $8.99, K is 9.99. For so many years, unlike other things I collected, like baseball cards or coins, vinyl never experienced the valuation craze until the last few years. Regardless of them not being worth much at the time, I thoroughly enjoyed them and don't regret purchasing what I did. Definitely do understand how the purchase of a record brings you back to a time and place; quite nostalgic! Certainly, understand how things do change as I've since parted with most of the things I collected over the years, keeping only a few key items. Most important I feel is you've enjoyed the journey along the way. I think after all, it's the pursuit that makes collecting fun!

    Sold my collection before I got married.
    Kept a crate of my most collectable as well.
    Got back into collecting again a few years ago but thinking of selling my collection again.
    Tired of the crazy prices and tired of the unscrupulous people who are selling "M, NM even VG+" and when I receive the item, it's trash. I have bought from some very nice honest people, but the hassle is getting to me.
    Not many record stores around me so most of my purchases are online. I need someone I can trust to look at my collection.
    Thanks for the video👍

And yeah...got em all back now...and more. Not gonna do that again 😝 and don't get me started on my baseball cards from 1974.....same story LOL.
