Posted August 21, 200816 yr It's worth $50 million and he can't even sell it for $3m. " The library of congress did a study on the merchandise that i have in my collection, and from 48 and 66, only 17% of that is available to the public on CD, now you think about that for a second that means 83% of the music that i have on those shelves you cant buy at any price anywhere" Paul's been building his collection for most of his life. He used to run a record store, and while running it he never sold the last copy of any album or single, instead keeping it for his archives. Over the years, those really added up. Now, at an advancing age, stricken with diabetes and legally blind, Paul wants to sell the collection. It's been appraised at about US$50 million, but Paul is asking a mere US$3 million. He's had no serious offers, and an eBay auction back in February fell through. In a time when you can access pretty much whatever music you want online, hard copies of albums are declining in value, both monetary and sentimentally. But to see such a mindblowing collection as this sitting in a basement, unwanted, is really heartbreaking. This is historic, no matter that we live in the iPod era or not, and it belongs in a museum. If only one cared enough to buy it. Watch the Video, well produced and makes me wish I had a spare 43m lying around. Aresnik [WC] Leiutenant Braaaaaaaarp!

August 21, 200816 yr cant believe a music junky or musician wouldnt jump on it for 3mil and hold it as a personal collection or a music industry/ gallery organization buy it and put on display. Fear is another word for weakness.
