If Greshenz is so interested in saving the music in his collection, why are the only options buying the whole collection or putting it in the bin? There are thousands of record enthusiasts who would buy these records if they didn't have to buy all 400,000! I just don't get what's so important about "keeping the collection intact". Granted, it's a huge number of records, but the collection has no intrinsic meaning or value as a collection to anyone except Greshenz.
