Non-Music Shit / GOLDMINE Record Collecting Survey

***SEND SURVEY RESPONSES TO MARTINP@INFORAMP.NET***
Hey guys,
Not sure how many of you know this, but I?ve taken over all the Goldmine record price guides.
In the next one, the huge 1400 page Standard Catalogue, I have to write a piece on record collecting habits. Please answer only if you have a fair bit of any of these three things: VINYL, ROCK MEMORABILIA or loads of stuff from A SPECIFIC BAND (OR MANY).
So? I wanted to see if some of you might venture some answers to these 11 questions? A) the more detail the better and B) the more of them you can answer the better!
Put as much work into it as you want without getting ticked off at me! If that?s ?none? that?s fine too.
Looking forward to some cool collecting stories and philosophical thoughts. : )
Thanks! Martin
PS - Oh yeah, and if you have a buddy who has a killer collection and cool stories behind it, please pass on this email. Direct all responses to martinp@inforamp.net
1 ? Describe your collection, the nature of it, quantity etc. What do you collect and why? that?
2 - Tell me a cool story of a great deal you got, or a major purchase, or just a crazy, awesome shopping trip or purchase?
3 ? Tell me a cool story about obtaining autographs?
4 - How and where to you shelve or store your collection? Any interesting ways you have things displayed?
5 ? One day you will stare death in the face? How ? and when - do you plan to dispose of your collection? Where is it going to ?go? and why?
6 ? What are a few of the very coolest things you have? Perhaps tell me how you obtained them?
7 ? What do you think your collection is worth, and how did you arrive at that number? (optional).
7 ? What was the first record you ever bought and what is the story behind obtaining it?
8 ? Can you tell me a story about one or two of your favorite (or weirdest) stores to shop in, past or present, and your emotions upon opening your wallet in that place?
9 ? What is your very fondest memory of wanting something so bad, and then finding it, buying it, getting it as a present etc.?
10 ? And finally, and I?m really not sure what I?m getting at here?do you ever get bored of it, grow out of collecting, reflect on mortality or the concept of ?ownership? being only temporary? I guess also, did you ever do all this and then get rid of your collection for that reason or any other? Explain!
11 ? Wait, really finally, let me know if you would RATHER have your responses anonymous, or you don?t mind, or actually prefer, to have your name used.
Thazzit!
Martin
