Does anyone "throw away" Lp's ?


I have collected about 1500 lps over the last several years. Mostly in groups of 2 to 8 hundred. I am just now going through each one to check quality of vinyl. My question is ...at what point do YOU just discard a record? I'm tempted to trash all that shows obvious scatches and wear.

I'm thinking anything that looks like I would be comfortable playing on my TT with my cart for fear of damage.

What do you do in this case?

Yes please send those LPs that you all designate as throw-aways to your local Goodwill store or thrift shop. They may not be in that bad condition to us budget LP buyers or people who want to try vinyl or different genre's of music. The thrift stores or Goodwill type shops sell the records really cheap. You can count me as one of those "overly enthusiastic buyers". I know I've purchased quite a bit of classical albums in good condition from various thrift stores. If I didn't like the music or found the record was more damaged than I thought I would just donate it back to Goodwill later.

That then there is Craiglist as well. Just make sure you emphasize no picking. They either buy the whole lot or go away with nothing.
