  • Just like that bluebird

(With a paltry personal collection of only approx. 3000 lps, what is my wife worried about?)

  • To whom more was given more will be required.
    • Never go to a psychiatrist, adopt a straycat or dog. On the street they live only two years average.
Homem abóbora.
The customs' taxmen will feast on this mass import.

Hi FULLRANGEMAN.
Yes, that's right, the custom officers will earn bags of $$$ with that huge LP importation.
Maybe you should start a business selling turntables,
so many LP will need some turntables to spin them. :lol:

I wonder how the vinyl music lowers will absorb so many LPs.
I twill take decades...

It doubtful that these records will disappear forever. I would wager that they will show up in his estate sale sooner or later.
This collection represents a lot money and is very liquid. Unless vinyl is completely abandoned in the next 30 years there will still be a market for the records in his collection.

At 80-90 reais each I dont see anyone buying vinyl here, even the inexpensive used ones.

She's probably worried you're planning to buy the duplicate copies of his collection. 

Thanks for posting this.  It's a fascinating read!
