World’s Largest Record Collection for Sale
I first heard this on NPR, but it looks like Wired has grabbed on to the story. The world's largest album collection is up for sale on eBay. It contains over 3,000,000 vinyl records (mostly 45 rpm singles) as well as over 300,000 CDs. Once the collection hit 160,000 records (or so) he had to move them to a warehouse. Once space was not longer an issue, he started buying albums by the tractor trailer load, usually as they were being returned from the distributor to the manufacturer as unsold. Minimum bid is a bargain at $3,000,000.
