World’s Largest Record Collection is Worth $50 Million; No One Wants it for $3 Million

Somebody please buy my records, for God's sake!

Paul Mawhinney built up the largest collection of vinyl in the world (over 3 million records), over a span of 50 years. He is trying to sell it through his website. Valued at over $50 million (US dollars) he can’t seem to find any takers at even $3 million.

Because of health and financial problems, Mawhinney is trying to sell the collection but unfortunately nobody seems to be interested. An Ebay auction was attempted but fell through a few months ago. It would appear that in the age of the iPod, nobody wants records. I think the real problem, though, is that the people who would really love to have the records aren’t millionaires and would certainly not own a warehouse big enough to store them, while millionaires probably wouldn’t know what to do with 3 million records even if they had them.

With your generous 3 million dollar donation this abandoned collection can find a good home.

This is one of those things that has nothing to do with Hip-Hop, but at the same time has everything to do with Hip-Hop. - Nah Right

Basically, nobody gives a damn. - Paul Mawhinney

Everytime I buy records I always wonder about it becoming an expensive hobby/addiction. I look at Paul Mawhinney and wonder no more.
