Is there anywhere to donate old CDs?

[Anonymous]

Just found 3 boxes in my basement. As much as I want to keep them for nostalgic reasons I probably should not.

The best would be a local library’s book sale, but lots of thrift stores sell them, too.

I buy them myself because I am turning into a semi-Luddite, but I hear they are popular with the kids again.

Thank you for not just trashing them!

They are popular with the kids again. My teen got a cd player for christmas and has been digging through my old cds. 90s are very popular!

They sell them at Value Village (which takes donations) and my teens love them. We don't allow phones in bedrooms so they have CDs!

One has become a huge fan of listening to an album all the way through in the order the creator intended. I hadn't realized they weren't familiar with that concept

Sell them to half price books. Most of them are probably worthless but at least you’d get rid of them.
My husband entered my entire cd collection into discogs and was surprised to find that I owned some valuable cds.

Sell them in a lot on eBay and donate the money. They make it easy to do through them. I did that and a band teacher bought them.

Thrift stores.

I still buy used cds when I find them in thrift stores and library sales because I'm not interested in paying even bigger bucks for streaming at this point.

Emo music from the 90s that did not sell well but developed a cult following later, Japanese music, Brazilian music. If you were into Matchbox 20 you’re not going to have any diamonds on the rough.
