Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life. - Ludwig van Beethoven

I went to the actual website, and had to chuckle:

"Every genre of American music is represented: rock; jazz; country; R&B; blues; new age; Broadway and Hollywood; bluegrass; folk; children's; comedy; Christmas, and more."

I guess classical counts as "and more," eh?   ;D

Amazing, maybe I should put in a bid, for there are many valuables in it, and 8 companies, and much more.
But the shipping alone.....

Shipping costs might be an issue .......

Don't ship. Build a house next door and move there.

That's a far cheaper alternative ........

You cheapskates. That collection is worth $50,000,000, and look what you also get:

Quote(1) the rights to Spin-Clean, the owner's patented vinyl record cleaning system, considered the best on the market by audiophiles the world over, (2) the rights to Discmist CD cleaner, (3) CD Saver 2-part archival CD storage sleeves, (4)Yellow Jacket 45 RPM acid-free archival storage sleeves, (5) ownership of the owner's six publishing companies and eight independent record labels, and (7) more than $100,000 worth of antique recording and listening devices and other music memorabilia currently on loan to a museum.The owner will ship anywhere in the world, and the buyer pays actual packing and shipping costs from Pittsburgh, PA, USA.

Hear, hear, Harry!!!

And you can even get a personal tour of the collection. Book your flight now!!! Cheapstakes can store the collection in the overhead bins.

  LOL...also the pragmatist aren't you Dm.  Good Lord for 3 Million dollars I'd expect shipping to be free or at least included in the price!

I assume there would be import duty to be paid at the receiving end.

The collection contains many thousands of duplicate copies, which could be sold individually on the collectibles market to recoup a substantial part of the purchase price.

Included in the total are 2,999,999 copies of this historically significant recording:

Harry calls this guy's collection "The Recycling Bin".
