Yes, after my mother died, and I moved to go to college, I had to pretty much liquidate everything I had. If it wouldn’t fit into my 71 Firebird Formula 400, I had to get rid of it. Had to get rid of my stereo system, except for my cassette deck and headphones, with all the cassettes I’d recorded my album collection to. It was a real shame, there were a lot of albums I’ve never been able to replace on tape or CD over the years. :-(

I know what you mean. Our family had a business which accumulated thousands of 78RPM records from hundreds of estate auctions. They filled up a building from floor to ceiling in crates and boxes. They were all lost when the family member died and a probate court ordered an auction sale of everything in the contested estate. The probate court’s auctioneer was in a hurry to finish the auction and would sell dozens of boxes and crates of these 78RPM records at a time on a single bid of twenty-five cents or 2-bits.
