 Sounds very familiar. I carted around a stack of vinyl that weighed around 50kg for years. Some of the records were all the way back from early 20th century in thick bakerlite. Spent years trying to get family members who were more settled to take them and offered to pay for shipping. Sad to end up giving them all to a charity shop but way to much for a vagabond to cart around. Hope someone is enjoying them now!

 Again, similar repostè. My dad was a Northern Soul DJ back in the day. Loads of very rare 45's, imported from America, some are worth an absolute fortune now. Most of them are in my loft, my dad is 70 now so his peers will be of the same age, the perfect age for retirees with shit loads of spare money to buy records from their youth that they couldn't once afford.

I might start to trickle them back onto the market😬😂.

 I think economists have not priced in the valuation of lofts
