That sure is a ton of records. Are you selling your own (or someone else's?) full collection?

Mine - a 20+ year accumulation - they'd have to be organized to be a "collection" - and they ain't!!!

Agreed. I call mine an "accumulation" rather than a collection.
Wait- 20 years? Over 8,000 records?

If you can hold them for awhile... I need to reinforce the floor joists in my house and rent a tractor trailer with a fork lift...

Is that all of them, or did you actually start numbering at 1, and have almost 100,000 records? (And here I was thinking I had a problem at only 13,000)

Yes, they start at "1" but 8699 is almost 10,000 - you're still in the lead!!! And you could really increase it!!!!!

Your list numbers go to at least 92791 though, those are the numbers that I meant.
Unfortunately I have nowhere reasonable to put thousands more right now either...

Ahhhhh.... I understand - they were numbered in groups as I got them - some using the year for the first digit, early on by "type" of music (1 thru about 1000 are pre-1930's Dance Bands, 3200's are Marches, etc).
