Main Range 51-100 CD offers (ends August 6th)

I don't by the CDs anymore, a matter of cost and space. Clearly it's a move to try shift more stock.

Given only one of 51-100 has gone out of print since it was announced they weren't going to be repressed 10 months ago, I reckon they just want to hurry the process along a little.

Managed to plug the gaps I needed - have all of these now that I want (I prefer 5, 6 and 7 - so have skipped the 8th for the mo).

Ordered Renaissance of the Daleks this morning and see it is now out of print. Fingers crossed I'll get that one on physical copy.

Wonder when Big Finish will do a 101-150 sale? Some gaps there to fill!!

I care for things but not to obsessive levels gone are the days when I wouldn’t turn the corner of a book etc or not bend the spine.My CDs are there to be listened to their covers browsed if they end up in good condition when am dead and gone that is good.I think so many people think in Monetary value or collectors piece value.dont get me wrong am not careless with them but just not to the point that if someone does something to them that i will lose it.People are more important than things.

Don't get me wrong. The Books and Magazines get read, the Videos and DVD's get played. They just get looked after so that they do not get worn or damaged. The CD's I refer to just don't need to get opened as I have the digital copies. They still look the same on the shelf.

It's just nice to dig out things from years back and appreciate that they remain undamaged. Let's face it, when looking for things of value, it is the condition that attracts interest. It is possible to enjoy things without causing damage. I speak with self effacement and humour when referring to the way I keep things.

Yeah i agree i leave the cost of something to those who get the stuff when am dead and gone lol

I think one of the things about modern day merchandise is that they are produced in larger quantities and a lot of collectors keep them boxed for future posterity. A few years back there was a documentary about a collector of Batman movie marchandise, whose wife and children wanted him to clear the spare room he had filled with boxed toys, etc. The advisors brought in to help him sell on his duplicates (he had several copies of everything) had to break it to him that there was nothing of value beyond what they were new as there was no rarity and that other collectors will have their own boxed versions too. We weren't talking 60's and 70's toys here but 90's onwards.

When looking at things from 30-50 years go still boxed, that's a different issue, but the kids who did not look after their things back then and who have become collectors can make the mistake of thinking that today's mass market items, made with collectors in mind, are ever going to achieve rarity value. Supply and demand really. Boutique emporiums will be full of 'as new, loft find' stock 30 years from now at this rate, as things get passed on. So no, i don't keep things 'in the box', but at least maybe keep an empty box or two in the loft.
