[78-L] For those married folks, how does your spouse fell about your record collection?

[Cary Ginell]

I don't have a luxury of space for a lot of superfluous records, so they either get sold on hoo-HAA, at a garage sale, or I take them to a local record swap meet a few times a year. The missus likes the extra cash they bring in, so that defuses any periodical buying I may still do (which has lessened substantially in direct proportion to the fate of the economy and my own paycheck).

Since I collect both old records and old phonos, this has been resolved for the most part giving away surplus records with the extra phonographs I sell, or simply donating them to the next Historical Society Flea Market.
