Default best use for CD music collection?

What is the best way to get rid of a large collection of music CDs? I want to get something for it, but I don't have the time or patience to deal with selling each individually (eg. eBay). There are no longer used record stores in my area, and I do not want store credit anyway.

Best way to get cash for it? Or should I just donate it and take a write-off?

This is a few big boxes, maybe 500+ CDs, all in good condition with original cases/liners. Mostly 80s and 90s music: rock, pop, metal, alternative.



Thanks in advance for any ideas.

500+ cds
Even though i might not like all of them i would take the risk on bulk buy if it was cheap enough.
Maby sell the lot on ebay starting at like $100 better than nothing!

If you're already itemizing deductions, take the writeoff. If you aren't already itemizing deductions, then it probably won't make enough of a difference in your taxes.

Point of note: If you sell them, technically you have to report that income (although few people rarely do... especially when the transaction is in cash)
