Yes, you are quite right about those 'mega-boxes' - as for bringing in revenue, I am sure they do.
Some years ago I read in amazement a series of posts by members of another forum about how
they'd just bought that box of XYZ, and the first response was 'Oh, great, I'm just waiting for my
box of ABC to arrive...' on and on it went - all very competitive (Americans, as if I need to say).
Yet no-one ever mentioned actually listening to the CD's. Not once. Extraordinary.
As for Michael's suggestion that companies should offer smaller more manageable units, I agree,
they haven't really thought the matter through.
Ralph's mention of having a clear-out - I had to smile... "I now have "only" a core collection of
several thousand." Ah, but what about those in the cardboard boxes that are still sitting in the
spare room/garage which you forgot about?
As for having a clear-out, well I did once... damn it, I need to make some room so I can properly
arrange things to be more accessible. Walked into the shop (which no longer exists) and found they
were having a sale. Almost walked back out thinking they would be too busy to glance at my large
bag full of discarded 'treasures' - but no, they were only too happy. Receiving over three times my
realistic estimate, I promptly blew it all (and a bit more) in the sale. Oh, well...
