What's Worth More on the Open Market - Your Records or Your Audio Gear

Have anyone of you actually calculated this ?

What's your personal ratio ?

I have not looked into this in any detail, and have if anything, only recently.....

Told family members (not my wife) 8^0..........something along the lines of ........." this piece of equipment is worth ......this (xxxx) ......." 

I have, told all family members that they could probably start an Ebay Record Selling Career; if their own career doesn't pan out.... with what is contained in the house. I don't think they are buying this idea ......right now.

This has me a little concerned.  

I assume the good records will only go up in value.  

Some gear I own, I believe is in this same state of fluctuating upward values.

Interested in your opinions, and findings on the subject.    Have you crossed this bridge yet ?

I'll give you $5.00 for them.  I can never understand why anyone would own a turn table and records because most of the time you can hear the noise from tracking the needle in the grooves of the record and this is after you freshly clean a record. 

I think streaming music using Tidal sounds better because there is no noise and you would have to pay a fortune to buy the number of records or CD's they offer in their library.  I can sit on the sofa using my Bluesound Node 2i and select songs and album using my iPhone.  The days of using vinyl and CD's in my opinion is over.  Who wants to pull out a record, wash the record and then pay a lot of money for an expensive turntable these days when digital streaming is available.

If you want a better analog conversion then buy an expensive DAC.
