The yard is nothing but a fence, the sun just hurts my eyes...
Person 1 puts together a box of 50-60 CDs and sends off to Person 2 who gets to listen to some stuff that they wouldn't have bought or listened to otherwise. Person 2 likes 10 (suggested limit) of them so much, so keeps that 10 but replaces them with 15 of their own "surplus". They send the original number on to Person 3 (who repeats the process) and the extra 5 back to Person 1 to start to replace their initial contribution.
Over time, the original box gets to Person N who - there being no other takers - sends it back to Person 1 (it's now a different box) and the cycle begins again ....
I still buy new release on CD.
The way I justify this expensive habit is my car (despite not being that old per-se) only has a CD player! Well... technically it does have an AUX-in but since Apple removed the all-important headphone jack, I don't want to spend money on a fancy adapter that allows you to charge and convert a signal from Lightning to 3.5mm AUX-in cable... yet I am willing to spend money for compact discs, even though I would probably say i listen to Apple Music more than CDs. The thing with CDs and other physical formats though, is the tactile experience. The cases, the inserts and spines... you don't get that from a download!
I also want to support the artist who makes a larger percentage profit margin off the CD sale direct from their online store rather than the 0.0000001 pennies they may get from a stream or two here and there.
I do participate in some local trade groups on Facebook occasionally. That's been fun. And buy/swap/sell groups for cd specifically and general groups as well, may be worth a look!
Is there another way to post photos?
If there's any 80s Ozzy or Maiden going I'll be interested!
I think these need to go in the for sale section. So I’ll do that and come back here with a link.

Please don’t judge me by CD collection.
I can’t get the embedding to work. I’ve always struggled with listing photos on this site for some reason. Sorry.
No Ozzy or Maiden, I’m afraid.
Cheers,
Andy
