I saw an ad in today's paper saying, "We buy everything." That includes vinyl records, CD's. even old LP's and 45's. I'm wondering if that's the best way to get rid of some of that stuff, which is uselessly cluttering up my house.
My turntable has been in a storage closet for years. My CD's still get played, but only about half of them. And I know that the new cars, computers, etc. don't come with CD players, which means all those CD's that everyone bought will soon be extinct. What will happen to them?
The hardware element seems to be dying out, or is already dead. Music is played now over phones, apps like Alexa, etc.
So much money has been invested (probably by everybody over 30) in buying this stuff that it seems outrageous that hauling it to the town dump is beginning to look like the only option. I doubt that even organizations like Goodwill are interested.
Is it worth it to load up boxes and haul some of it to one of those stores? I once did that with old books, and got about $1 for each book. Hardly worth the effort.
Any ideas? Has anyone found a good solution to this?

My friend is a big Beatles collector. I'll pay you what it is worth, don't worry.
