Title: How many albums do you own (poll)
Post by: weirdo on May 20, 2012, 04:12:01 PM
First of all, sorry. I know this has been asked several times already, but I couldn't find any polls about it. Just curious.

I have 41 atm. I bought my first album only 1,5 years ago so I thought most of you guys have more albums than me.


*******Bonus questions*******
1.How often do you buy albums and do you buy more than one at the same time?
2.Do you ever sell the albums you have bought?

In my case: 1. 1-3 albums once or twice per month.   2.No. Only if I really dislike the album.

21 to 30. I'm thinking about selling them. I'm content with mp3's and would have no problem with just having an ipod and a computer.

Somewhere in the area of 100.

1. I don't really have a system for buying albums.  I just buy ones that I am interested in.  Could be one at a time or eight at a time.  Could be once a year or twice in a week. 
2. Frequently.

More than 200. I buy about a CD a week, so my money flies away towards music. I never sell my albums.

Somewhere over 800, possibly over 900 now. I've lost count  :lol

**************************************************

1. On average, I'd say I buy anywhere between 2-4 albums a month, although I've gone through dry-spells of not having bought new albums in over 2 months (due to a lack of available finances).
2. I rarely sell albums, but I would only do so if I have a duplicate or older version to sell. Otherwise, I might just give the old/outdated album to a friend.

I have no idea, and didn't want to take the time. I would estimate somewhere around 100 though.

More than 300. Shit, I bought 70 alone the year I was 16 working for $4.75 at Wendy's.

More than 300 X 10 is about right.

You've got over 3000 albums? How long have you been collecting?

I will have to check my log when I get home but I own somewhere between 2000 - 2100 cd's.

1. Usually every week.  Sometimes I have bought up to 20 cd's at one time.
2. No.  I did when I was very young when my musical tastes change, but now there is no point, as they pretty much have no value.

Impressive. That's a lot! How long have YOU been collecting? I only started less than a decade ago, and I'm somewhere around 700 CDs and around 150 DVDs/Videos.

Since I was about 14 so, 14 years.  DVD's I'm not sure, I probably have about 300.

Nice! So you are 28 as well? I didn't seriously start til around 9 years ago, but it was slow back then, maybe 40-50 albums a year, but now it's a lot more. I recently bought a Media Tower that is about 85-88% full of CDs (so about 900), and the rest with DVDs, although I couldn't fit all my DVDs in the remaining space. Should've gotten a higher capacity tower!

76-100.

1. Anytime I find something interesting or want to order something to the record store.
2. No.

Post by: YtseJamittaja on May 20, 2012, 11:14:06 PM
Only around 50 or something.

1. Only if I find some really rare or new good album.
2. Never even tried, could be good idea.

I'm guessing I'm around 1,000 items at this point, but I haven't kept track in years.

I just had to buy more CD racks because the old ones held over 800, and I had piles all over the place b/c they wouldn't fit anymore.   I'm sure I have over 1000 CD's...and I'm probably pushing about that number on vinyl as well.   Somewhere around 2000.

Much more than 300.

I thought the poll's options were way out of proportion. The results show this.

True. I didn't really know what to except.
