We are open to purchasing both individual CDs and entire collections.

Nevertheless, our interest predominantly lies in CDs from the 1980s and 1990s. This includes 3-inch and 5-inch CD singles, CDRs (whether blank, handwritten, or printed), promotional CDs, 5-inch CD Video Discs, and Boxed Sets of CDs.
