1-How big is it(cds,vinyl,downloads etc)(Include display pics etc if you want.)
I lost count of that a long time ago. I have a roomful of boxes with CDs and vinyl. All my old cassettes are in boxes at my parents place. My collection would've been double so big, had I not had a break-in about 15 years ago where my stereo, vinyls, CDs, etc were stolen. Since then I've been rebuying a lot (unfortunately mostly on CDs).
2-Is there stuff you have not played(how much)
I honestly think I have played everything at least once. What I do have a lot of, is unseen bonus DVDs etc.
3-Do you buy your music or do you take the odd frebbie download from blogs.
I ALWAYS buy my music, but I have occasionally downloaded an album for my iPod, since downloading it was faster than searching through boxes for it.
4-How much per month do you think you spend
Too much, but not half as much as I used to!
5-Is your collection out of control and growing like a monster
Sometimes it feels out of control or too much.
6-How many chances do you give a purchase(eg 3 goes)
It depends on how much I enjoy the album. Some albums ends up being on heavy rotation for months, while others get a couple of listens and then end up in a box, only to be rediscovered later.
7-Do you have stuff that you do not like(eg part of a bands discography)
Well, I tend to collect full discograhies by bands I like, so sometimes there'll be a release I like less, but I don't think I own an album I literally dislike. If I like a band, I tend to find at least something positive about all of their releases. (see 8 also).
8-Do you sell off parts of your collection from time to time.
I have a friend who owns a second hand store, I sometimes trade or sell some stuff to him, partly to trim down a bit (lack of space). It's mainly stuff I've received as a gift and didn't like, stuff I might have bought twice or on rare occasion something I bought and really didn't like!
9-Please feel free to say anything else.
