“And if I could find a media auction site that could support any type of volume, I’d be there in an instant.”
Would amazon work for you? I buy tons of used books and CDs there.
I can either choose to spend 30 minutes per item researching and pricing which would take 7 years to do so, or I can spend 5 minutes putting them up for a penny, which will take me a year to do so.
Yes, I could likely realize triple my money doing it the other way, but end up still having 32,000 of those CDs which I'd still have to dispose of.
It is a delicate balancing act of time vs money vs eventually reaching the end.
