"When everything is digital, why we long for media we can hold
in our hands"

years of digitizing everything.

"It's a feeling increasingly shared by consumers and collectors
across Canada. After years of digitizing everything, people are
rediscovering the value of physical assets. DVDs, vinyl records
and film cameras are all experiencing a renaissance. Even
cassette tapes are making a comeback.

"Last year, for the second year in a row, vinyl albums outsold
CD albums in the in the U.S., Billboard reported in January
(and the manufacturers are struggling to keep pace with the
growth). In terms of photography, Kodak said in 2022 that it
"can't keep up" with the demand for film.

"a lot of younger female customers buying records. Now, it's
common to have 15-year olds coming in to buy everything from
old re-issues to new releases"

(and the manufacturers are struggling to keep pace with the

I noted this awhile back, but I have a bunch of vinyl records that
my late parents had (my Dad has been gone over 16 years, and my Mom
has been gone over 3 1/2, and my wife has been gone nearly 16 years).
My parents were married in late 1952...my Dad was diagnosed with
pancreatic cancer just after their 54th anniversary...he was gone 6
weeks later.

There are also a bunch of ceramic knick-knacks, and several book
from the late Clive Cussler, and other authors, that I have no use
for.

While I'd like to sell or donate these, I can't afford to send
them off (I'm on a fixed income), and I'm afraid to post something
out...as thugs who may see the ad would come to the door, and kill
me, then ransack the place. Plus, with Covid-19 issues, many places
won't take these items. I've had the 2 initial shots and 3 boosters,
but to my knowledge, have never had Covid-19. Yet, after the 3rd
booster last November, I have had no energy to do much of anything.

I remember you mentioning the Clive Cusslers. Those could be
worth something. But if you don't have use for them, just tell
the libraries in the area what you have. Let THEM arrange to
have someone come over to pick them up.

WRT knick-nacks, just donate then to a thrift shop and get them
out of your space.

One thing at a time. Try a library for the books.
