And rip what you're selling. Choose a lossless format. Then at least you've always got a like-for-like digital copy of the originals, which you can play on your computer, stream to other devices in the house, or burn a CD copy if you need one in the future.
Don't worry about missing out on new music (you could always check things out on Spotify if available, and make a wishlist for your birthday or Christmas). Take the chance to rediscover some 'old'!
Oh, and if you're in a position to look for work - the very best of luck with that.

to charity recently "Sense" and many other charity shops give you card which means your donation is giftaid (the same way a cash one would be) that means they get more for your stuff getting some of the tax back. Worth remembering

I've just started selling off a big ol' chunk of my collection and am quite surprised how much I'm getting for certain items. I'm not exactly happy about it but the amount of unplayed albums I have here is ridiculous so they're going on Trade Me (a NZ version of Ebay).
In theory I'll be using the earnings to go towards a looming tax bill but I know deep down that they'll actually be spent on another guitar or even more CDs.
One thing I did do is buy as Drakey suggested an external hard-drive so at least I'll be able to listen to that Evie Sands album if I ever wish to do so.

Mines gone, didn't get much for it considering the size, but no hard feelings as I need the cash and there aren't many jobs out there so c'est la vie. [spookily on trademe - the same as mclongwhitecloud's comment above!]
It's strangely liberating. Of course I ripped them all to a 2TB hard drive in hi res and backed that up on another hard drive in a safe place, so it's really just the sleeve notes and the feeling you get when you put the disc in the machine.
Good luck with your job hunt.
