my entire life will probably wind up in a dumpster...I'm 65, single, childless...3 of my 4 older siblings are gone, my 3 closest friends were 15 years older than me and they are gone too..I live in a area of NYC that got very congested and changed for the worse...so gradually everyone left moved to more suburban area's...there aren't even that many people left to reminisce with....
Things that were important for us to own don't matter much to other people...I have older family members that died with collections of expensive dining room furniture, nic nacks and leaded crystal, Capo D' Monte', all that "crap" italian women liked to collect in the 50's/60's...even 2nd hand shop dealers offered pennies a piece...the younger generation is more practical and will spend their $ on maintenance and life experiences ...and many don't want to own any type of music...it's all electronically available....I have been a ebay seller for 30 years...my generations music has slowed way down selling...forget about most stuff from before Elvis....also, if a older LP is finally released on CD, the market floods with used vinyl copies...most people just want the music. they don't care if its vinyl, cd, or download.
