Agree that I couldn't believe dilly threw out the CD covers. I would have gone mad if that were me. If you like CDs and have a collection you want to keep, you want the whole thing. It's like ripping off covers of books saying that they are too think and you don't need them. They must have checked that with them before hand because it was so extreme.
She didn't! I've just watched it and she even says that it's a great way to keep cds and covers but get rid of the empty cases.
Yes she did! I was using the word covers here to mean plastic cases (ie. the CD case/ plastic cover not the album booklet) and she did throw them out.
There are normally 4 parts to a CD and its case: 1. the CD itself 2. the cover 'booklet' which slides into the front of the plastic case. 3. the plastic case and 4. the back 'cover' (usually list of tracks) which is sealed into the case.
If you like CDS the whole package (all 4 bits) is part of what you are collecting and just chucking out the plastic cases as others have said, would devalue it for a future purchaser but more importantly it's sacrilege because it is unnecessarily destroying the whole sold object. Like I said, it's like ripping covers off books and just keeping the text or taking a vinyl album, slicing the front cover off the sleeve chucking out the back and the paper album cover and sticking them all in plastic folders. Just why? It's pointless because it's minimal space saving at the expense of the completeness of the vintage object. If CDs are your 'thing' then you want it in its original vingtage 'as sold' packaging.
Like I said, if it had been me (and I'm no CD collector) I'd have gone mad. I think it would be legitimate to really object to that and they must know it so I can't believe they'd do that without checking. Given Mr Clothes and Bags Hoarder couldn't let go of a Tesco bag for life, I expect he had a breakdown at the realisation all the CD plastic cases had been chucked - if they had which I doubt.
