That is just outstanding. How the hell does someone get THAT MUCH music?? Now I dont feel so bad about having a huge bootleg collection lol.
I do not know who the hell will come up with that kind of cash.....just amazing.

From Thomas Edison to American Idol, this is the complete history of the music that shaped and defined five generations. 3 million records and 300,000 CDs containing more than 6 million song titles. It's the undisputed largest collection of recorded music in the world. About half of the recordings are new and never played, and every genre of 20th century music is represented. There are countless rare recordings worth hundreds, or even thousands of dollars each on the collectibles market. Organized and cataloged, the collection is meticulously maintained and housed in a climate-controlled warehouse. The estimated value of this amazing collection is more than $50 million.

PITTSBURGH — A man says he can now retire because someone bought his massive record collection on eBay for the asking price -- $3 million.

A buyer from Ireland agreed to shell out $3,002,150 for the collection of nearly 3 million vinyl albums, singles and CDs, owner Paul Mawhinney said Thursday.

The winning bidder has already deposited $300,000, and a bank has confirmed that he has enough money to buy the collection, Mawhinney said.

The price tag is one of the highest recorded by eBay Inc., said Karen Bard, a spokeswoman for the online auctioneer. A Gulfstream II jet once sold for $4.9 million, she said.

On Thursday, the 68-year-old Mawhinney closed Record Rama, which opened in Ross Township in 1968. He said he wants to spend time with his wife, three children and five grandchildren.

"I am legally blind. I had a couple of strokes a few years ago ... and it's time at my age to think about doing something else with my life," he said.

The collection includes more than 1 million albums, 1.5 million singles and 300,000 CDs, Mawhinney said.

Did you notice the little ebay commercial below the winning bid:

"Save $10 with new eBay MasterCard"

LOL If I were the buyer, I would obtain the ebay MasterCard asap in order to save 0,0003% of my money!

eBay must have made a killing with their new final price fees that they take out. Damn...
