I've been thinking about this for a few years now. I've lived in the 
same house for 23 years and, although my record collections are small by 
comparison to dl and others, they're still a major concern should I 
decide to move (or be moved, should the bank tell me to go!). Then there 
are the other collections and those surrounding the record collections 
(discographies, ephemera, etc.).
I've considered having "garage" sales but it's just as much work to do 
that as it would be to move out. One way or another I'm going to do 
something about it this year and I will follow dl's exploits with interest.
Keep it coming, Dave.
