Members Danhedonia Posted February 11, 2013 Members Share Posted February 11, 2013 Early this AM I was cleaning out a bureau drawer and saw in a tupperware full of foreign coins a little original sketch by the late Bill Doss. It's cute and artistic (in line with the OTC's album art), and I suspect of little value to any other than fans.I have a house full of stuff like that -- a Steve Keene painting from Matador, a Pavement nightlight, Flying Nun Records pen with a woman whose bathing suit disappears when you turn it upside down ... not to mention literally hundreds of demo tapes of bands obscure and semi-obscure.Now it's in my garage, and sits like the {censored}ing obelisk from 2001 ... not doing much, but in the way.I don't want to throw it all away, and I do not want to catalog it all. As far as I know, there sure isn't any "Indie Rock Hall of Fame" and really, who gives a {censored} about a tour-only Stereolab 7" except for some sad, stripe-shirted grad-school dropout? I know Curtis from TAANG! made quit a bit of cash from selling 7" on eBay, and I could do that with the vinyl I guess, but I'd rather figure out if there is some way to just offload it all at once. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dr.Picklebottom Posted February 11, 2013 Members Share Posted February 11, 2013 yep, eBay. eBay is meant for belongings that owners think shouldnt be thrown away but noone else wants at any price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Danhedonia Posted February 11, 2013 Author Members Share Posted February 11, 2013 So, what do you think about this approach ...1. Tchotchkes set aside; short list to keep for me. 2. Sell vintage vinyl (about 3,000 pieces, some rare/discontinued/special Kozik promo art versions etc.) on the Bay. Tchotchkes go into orders as goodwill/fun for buyers.3. The demo tapes ... I have no frigging idea. There's stuff on there I know people would want to hear (and they get grabby when they see the box), but I really don't want to be the person who moves them to digital. Is there a business that does it in bulk for a reasonable fee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
