Dec 11, 2011 - I can feel for Paul. I am almost 66 years old and I have been collecting 45's for about 50 years. The day has to come when I have to give up this wonderful hobby. In the past I have purchased quite a few 45's from Record Rama - a great place! I came to know early that the Pittsburgh area was a "hot bed" for record collectors. My best to you Paul and I sure hope your vinyl finds a great home. Take care, Ronnie Salyer

Jan 6, 2012 - I am not joking one bit, but if I had my dream audio-video history museum, this collection would be on it's way into the Fort Knot like record vault that I would have it housed within the museum. I would have tours of it, and have meticulous, carefully re-mastered CD's made from the items that were never on CD, and I would have them made as SACD high definition CD's...Friends, Lloyd.

squafdonoboles Says:
Jan 24, 2012 - And I thought I had a lot of records! I only have about 1,500 albums, 723 45's, 127 78's and 23 paper records. They are all in their original sleeves and -- yes -- I hold them by the edges. Thanks for posting this great collection! I hate the tinny sound of CDs. VINYL RULES!
MinerOfHats Says:
Jan 27, 2012 - i'll have them if no -one gives a damn! ;P

Jan 29, 2012 - There must be one crazy rich Japanese dude on this earth for this!!!
NoEgg4u Says:
Feb 6, 2012 - At the end of the video, the message reads that Paul's collection is worth $50mil, and that he is asking $3mil, and it remains unsold..That translates to it not being worth even $3mil..An item (or collection of items) is worth what someone will pay for it..Maybe someone will take this collection more seriously if he did not hold a 100+ year old record with his greasy fingers, and showed a turntable that was worth more than $50 for his $50mil collection.

Feb 6, 2012 - Id buy it all if i had the money
crownprinceofgroovy Says:
Feb 7, 2012 - I'm surprised he didn't try to sell parts of the collection on eBay. (Maybe he did after the video...)
