In my the answer would be a simple, "DUH" I havent go a clue.  

Buy a warehouse.

Skip

I've always believed homes ought to come with two garages, one for vehicles, the other filled with shelving to act as a warehouse for seasonal clothing & decorative items, freezers & second refrigerators, and everything else we all accumulate but do not want to give up.

I'd need a two-car garage and a four-car sized warehouse.

Buy the house next door and convert it to a DVD storage warehouse.  That's the only rational solution, right ?

it would be nice to choose more than one, but since i've already done it, i opted for toss those family photos...

i also cram them into the shelves in the closet. i did sell stuff on half.com for awhile, but got tire of having to going the mailbox...

[in other words, he's a lazy sod.]

my other trick, especially with some tv series and multi-movie sets, is to get mutli-disc cases, toss together some cover art, and consolidate. i cut the buffy collection down from two feet to one of shelve space (all 39 discs fit in 4 1-1/2" wide keepcases). i've also done this with all the star wars films (1 1-1/2" case).

[what he's not mentioning is where the blue blazes to keep all the original boxs..which are mostly stuff under the bed...]

i also have a growing collection of 12" action figures that are fighting for shelf space. it gets ugly. what chance does a slipcased clark kent have again a sword weilding 30-points of articulation Hellboy????

krik is stopping there because he doesn't like to read posts as long as the one he's typing...

My house has a small 5 room apartment attached to the rear. I'm afraid I had to evict the tenent to make room for my collections. I proceded to build floor to ceiling shelving units throughout to hold my collections. My problem is, with 3,000+ hardcover books, 1,000+ paperbacks, 1,000+ VHS tapes, and 2,500 DVDs, I'm running out of room!!!

Are you trying to put the Library of Congress out of business? .

I'd love to see pictures of this!

I don't own a digital camera yet -  I'm looking to buy one in the very near future. Once I do, I'll be sure and post it. Of course then there will be proof that I'm out of my mind!

I sell/swap the ones that I no longer have a desire to re-watch anymore. No point keeping them if I'm not going to watch them.
