What to do with those vinyl records?

That was the question I was faced with recently as my radio station had to divest itself of its vinyl holdings.

I talked to a number of folks in the record business, and eventually we put the collection up for auction through our University's surplus department.  During the process I learned a lot about what's valuable to collectors and what isn't, what's marketable, and that sort of thing.

And then today I read about a Brazilian gentleman who is probably the world's most avid collector of vinyl records--by his own account, probably owning several million records.

The story about him is here.
