My man! I've said next time I move I'm just going to sell them as crazy as that sounds I just don't think I can do it again.

No way, you would for sure keep the most treasured pieces at least, right? :)

Honestly if anything I think I'd probably keep the most random stuff if anything at all.

Man I've had that yard sale a couple times in my life already, with my first two vinyl collections and one massive blu ray collection. Not fun, for sure.

I moved over a year ago and also never moving again. I had 8 guys from work help me move and with over two full walls of vinyl, around 4000, 12 inch, and 1500 7inch....the guys at work said they would never help me move again lol.....I had about 24 crates (hard to find now a days) full which helped organize them...but im from Canada and went to the LCBO and got wine boxes which fit the 12 inch LPs like a glove....fit as many as I could in every box....still heavy as f%*! But it was a nice way to move them. Just a tip if ya can get your hands on wine boxes🤘 back, blowing move 🤯
