CD Regret

How many times have you traded/sold off a cd for whatever reason, only to want it back again years later? Or even worse, getting rid of a cd and then finding it impossible to replace.

I find myself doing that all the time and I feel so stupid.

Man, if I could go back to 1990, I would have a list of several thousand records that I sold/traded that I wish I had not. Most regret selling my autographed copy of Heathens Rage EP. Not just because it's so rare, but because it was a part of my youth. I even had an autographed 8x10 that I included in the album when I sold it to that record store.

Another is KISS - Face Lift. A 3 record box set, red vinyl, complete show from the Lick It Up Tour with Vinnie. I paid $35 for it. I sold it for $50 to a record store. They resold it within a couple weeks for $200. OUCH!

Had several great vinyl bootlegs of Kiss, Metallica, Aerosmith, Judas Priest, etc. that I would also love to have back.

i dont sell or trade anything. if i want a certain cd..i buy it. no reason to get rid of anything.

yes, a lot in the past, stuff like Grave Digger, Armored Saint, Iron
Maiden, Kreator, but nothing really rare. I got some of it back
already.

I was going through a very bad period financially several years ago (in college), so I sold off a LOT of my old Christian metal CD's. I have them all back, but MAN...I had to pay through the nose to get some of them back.

No regrets about trades really (except the one I made with Jorge!!!)

I WISH I would have bought CDs when they first came out instead of
cassettes for so long. Some of the Christian metal cassettes
I've had and sold/traded would have been worth SO much money
had they been CD (as everyone here is well aware, I'm sure)

There are only a few CDs I regret letting go. The most notable I can think of off the top of my head is Brutality - Screams Of Anguish.

I've gotten back most of them, but some I had to pay dearly for. Like the ultra rare Norwegian band, Seventh Seal.

Blind Illusion - The sane Asylum was my only real regret on CD.

I did let the Original Overkill (Metalstorm) Ep Vinyl off a few years ago and only recently picked it up again.

Would love to have that again.

I regret letting a bunch of my Kiss collection go.I had Double Platinum up through Crazy Nights.Now I hold on to everything!

I sold a ton of stuff when I first joined the Air Force. Those dorm rooms were TINY! Haha. I have re-bought so much, though. I definitely regret it.

Without a doubt. From my death metal only years to Christian music years, I have been through thousands of cds. I probably will never ever be able to get back

I "obtained" all the demos to my all time favorite record, Appetite For Destruction. Had acoustic versions of almost the entire record, and a version of Welcome to the Jungle with piano. I would have no idea where to get that one again.

I had an LP of Motley Crues first concert ever. There are so many tapes, records, and cds that I traded, destroyed or sold for peanuts. When I sold all of my death metal, which was around 2 or 300 cds, I got 25 cents a piece for them. There was an obvious death metal dude in the store. He must have went nuts. I sold stuff, nobody has, because I got it directly from the bands

I have dne that alot over the years...now I don't

I traded off a couple concerto moon cds. agh its amazingwhat lala can make you do for more cds.

I've sold a lot of rare thrash over the years, during the time I was more into death and black metal. Probably the worst was:

Nuclear Assault - Survive
Atrophy - Socialized Hate


I have sold and rebought plenty of other stuff, especially regarding my thrash awakening of a year or two ago.

I sold it when I stepped into Christianity.

eh, it happens. If you like I will send you my autographed vinyl of "The Mary Jane Girls"

Yeah. Attribute it to the ignorance of youth. Now, I would try to just "put it away" instead of sell or give it away.

That's very kind of you to offer, but I think I'll pass!

Nothing completely rare to note, but a few years ago, I started getting into rap (for whatever reason, although some of the older stuff I can still pop in the tray every once in a while). When I did, I sold off a bunch of CDs I had collected including Metallica, Pantera, Led Zeppelin, The Who, etc. Now I've re-built my collection and even added onto it. I've even gotten rid of some rap that I really did like back in the day, and wish I hadn't. Since then, I haven't, nor will I sell anything out of my collection. You never know when the urge will strike you to hear it again.

I love me some rap. Ice Cube, Digital Underground, Dr Dre, Beastie Boys. Its all good. Whatever makes you happy

Definitely, man. Geto Boys, 2pac, UGK, Scarface, Digital Underground, some of The Chronic, Thug Life... the list goes on and on. I can't stand the new stuff, personally.

I can dig the rap feeling a little. The only rap I can say I still like to this day is Eric B and Rakim from back in the 80's early 90's. I had a bunch of PID when I was into Christian Rap but traded them away...not really a regret, but I'd like to pop 'em in every once in a blue moon for nostalgia sake....no longer care for rap...it was a youthful thing....but memories of Eric B and Rakim and PID can still make me smile...
