In the UK we have charity shops (thrift shops?) we can give old vinyl records to, if we can't be bothered with the hassle of selling them.

I've sold some on ebay, but it's time-consuming to list them with full details, description of any faults, etc., and by the time you ship them you're lucky to make any money at all.

For 'prized' albums though, by artists I really admire, especially if the albums are not available on CD, I prefer to keep the albums for (a) backup purposes, if anything should happen to the CD-R; and (b) the sleeve notes, lyrics, songwriting credits, etc. (I can't be bothered to copy all that lot out!) - and even the old photos are on the cover are interesting sometimes.
