【9Box Music Collection Log】Timeless Classic: Mr. Chen Parts with His Thirty-Year Collection of Chyi Chin's "Wolf" Series

Last Thursday afternoon,a Mr. Tse carefully carried a cardboard box into the 9Box Music store. Inside were original Taiwanese vinyl pressings from the 80s: Chyi Chin's "Wolf's Album," "Winter Rain," and "Silk Road." He said they had been stored for thirty years and it was time for them to find an owner who appreciated them.

Last Thursday afternoon,our "9Box Music" store welcomed a customer with stories from a bygone era – Mr. Tse. He carefully took two well-preserved vinyl records from his canvas bag. The wild and unrestrained face on the album covers instantly transported our memories back to the most glorious 1980s of Chinese pop music – Chyi Chin's "Wolf's Album" and "Wolf (II)."

🎵 Customer Story: From Complexity to Minimalism,Finding Continuity for a Passion

Mr. Tse,nearly sixty years old,is a seasoned fan of Chinese pop music. When we asked why he was willing to part with these two classics he had treasured for so many years,Mr. Tse smiled with an open heart.

"These two records have been with me for almost thirty years; they hold memories of my youth," Mr. Tse said,gently stroking the cover of "Wolf's Album." "However,in recent years,I've started to embrace a minimalist lifestyle (decluttering). My home has limited space,and my old record player completely broke down recently. I couldn't be bothered to fix it anymore; now I'm used to listening to music with a lossless player. These two records are still in such good condition. Instead of letting them gather dust at the bottom of a cabinet,I'd rather hand them over to 'us.' I know you are professionals and hope you can help them find new owners who truly appreciate them and have the equipment to let them sing again."

Mr. Tse's reasons echo the sentiments of many of our clients. The medium of music changes,but the respect for music remains constant. Our mission has always been to ensure that cherished classics find their way into the hands of the next appreciative listener.

🔍 Professional Appraisal: Valuing Every Great Record

In front of Mr. Tse,our appraiser donned white gloves and meticulously assessed the condition of the two records. Although over thirty years old,Mr. Tse's care had been exceptional; the corners of the sleeves showed only minor signs of age,and the vinyl surface retained its good luster with no noticeable deep scratches.

We immediately offered a trade-in price that fully satisfied Mr. Tse. For us,these are not just two items; they are historical testaments to the golden age of Chinese music.
