I counted up the other day and my correct purchase total was 61, I believe. This does not include trades. I sold 20 for a net of 41.

Alright, my total haul for 08 was 134. Funny thing is is that thats about 3/4 of my entire disc library! I didnt start buying/trading discs hardcore until around the end of 07. I'll come up with a list of my stuff later when I have time...

I suppose that my final collection grew for around 100 CDs in 2008, but I must have bought at least 200 of them - since I sold most of my reissues earlier this year, and I also deleted most of the cardboard promos as a part of my collection ... The average price per CD was quite high, but on the other hand I managed to snag tens and tens of rarities, including some stuff I didn't even dream of ever having back in .. 2007

I'll be keeping the list of my '09 purchases so I'll be able to tell for sure at the end of the year, but it definitely won't be as good as this one ..

I have yet to break the 1000 mark yet. I did get quite a haul though (thank God for used CD stores and bargain bins) and will post it once I have time.

Hey DB, you taking a poop?

I believe thats it. If so then I brought in 266 CDs this year. I cheated my budget on many occasions but it got me a nice amount.

I bought over a hundred this year, but it was my first year as a serious collector, so I now have a collection around 200.

I think I bought 50 CD's and maybe 13 music DVD's, but I am not sure, I was looking thru my collection last night and gave up trying to figure when I bought what.

I was the same way but I used my memory of what I got recently, used my computer to sort by date the recent ones which showed me what I got before 2009 started, then looked in the R.I.P thread for my posts in the 2008 Collectors Corner (which ended in June-nothing after that appeared until November). Of course I have a lot of time on my hands and need to find projects to keep me from getting bored, that was good for a couple of hours.
