To someone who would actually use it and appreciate it, instead of all this equipment and milk crates full of albums sit unused and forgotten, filling up space in our pickup that could be better used for maybe an end table or bedroom furniture.
Oh no. I went through that with my DH's extensive collection of VHS Boxed Sets - The Complete John Wayne, StarWars, Twilight Zone, etc., etc., etc., ad nauseum - none of which he ever watched. I finally convinced him that they were worth nothing (who uses VHS anymore?) and we gave them away - even that was not easy since most didn't want them. And forget about selling. But I promised if he ever wanted to watch something, I'd buy it for him on DVD. He's never taken me up on my offer.

But, a man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still, so we need to wisely choose our battles.
