Purging/passing along your collection of audio gear

Here in the Colonies/North America/USA there is the Craigslist for locals, the Reverb/eBay (but the shipping of gear for Reverb & eBay is painful), the local ham radio swap meets/ham fests (shout out to www.electronicsfleamarket.com (AKA eFlea or EFM friends), but I have not had much success. Yes, I have been able to pass some...

Define old? I have older/vintage Mac gear I use on a regular basis. My G5 still has my entire music collection and syncs all my iPods just fine.

after the second or third NOS toner spewing its contents inside a printer, I splurged and purchased a toner vacuum. Cheaper than having the printer tech come out and clean up the mess for me.

as the printer tech explained to me, those NOS toners (at least HP ones) have a plastic piece that wears out when sitting in the box.

I do not see CD trading/swapping mentioned as of yet.

ThriftyAv on Youtube has some good videos on the topic:

The two trading web sites are:

Short story: You add titles to your have list and whether they are keepers or traders. You add titles to your want list. The web site matches up your copy to trade to an individual requesting (if they are), and vice versa. You get a CD in the mail soon after, hopefully intact and with the options you wanted (with all art, just the disc, etc). Sending out a title gives you a credit to get something in return.

Best keep your expectations in check. Do not expect to send out Cracked Rear View, Tubthumping, or some other bargain bin title since they already have tons of those already being offered. Also, patience is key. I have titles on my want list for years and likely will never get via these sites; then there have been limited edition promos or CD singles that are now part of my collection.

Keep an eye on postage costs, and packaging discs/labeling envelopes or packages so they arrive intact.

Full disclosure: I have been trading for years (since the lala days), am still active on both these sites, and have sent & received titles from ThriftyAv over the years.

[Meta] Looking for potential moderators.

Hi all, I’m currently the only mod here and I’ve sadly had to be less active given sizable real life responsibilities. So posting here to see if anyone is up for assisting in mod management? It’s still pretty small right now but it’s good to get ahead on these early I feel. Some of the other 6th gen communities could...

What to do with inherited server?

Hey everyone. So I just inherited a Dell R720 from work. I don’t know the full specs on it yet, but it’s got a 24 core processor and about 380 GB of memory. I need to buy my own drives, though. I honestly have no idea what to do with this. I’ve dreamed of having a home lab, but only ever thought about hosting a Unifi...
