We had a similar problem but with record albums. I started collecting in the 60's and had over 3,000 and had moved those heavy things many, many times.

This time since we were downsizing to a courtyard villa, I knew it was finally time to get rid of them. I cherry picked 350 of them and took them to a local record/CD/DVD store and they gave me $300. I sold another 200 in a yard sale for about $100. The remaining 2500 or so, I had to just discard in a dumpster we rented to throw out a lot of accumulated stuff from over the years.
