Without a doubt, the ad on Craigslist from the Minneapolis page will not exist at some point in the future so, in order to preserve the awesomeness of the item for sale, I've copied / pasted the text of the ad here:
Here's the deal: this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire a combination of state-of-the-art technology combined with old-school media in the form of a truly massive CD collection.
First, the CD's. You are purchasing a painstakingly curated collection of pristine CD's that have been accumulated over a lifetime, going back to the very beginning. There are roughly 8,700 titles comprising over 11,000 actual discs (many multi-disc collections). Many, many rarities and one-offs. Except for a few hundred recent purchases, every single CD has been carefully stored in a padded, archival sleeve and ALL the original artwork has been preserved without any folding or cutting. Read more about these sleeves here: http://jewelsleeve.com. These CD's are in truly mint condition. Due to a limitation of my system I CANNOT provide a list sorted by genre (don't even ask) but a full artist/titlelisting is provided here:

Next, these sleeved discs will come with four custom-made oak chests that store the entire collection in a very small footprint. Attached is a pic showing the concept (pic 1), a pic of the actual CD's in a different chest (pic 2), and finally a pic of two of the actual chests themselves (you will get FOUR). These chests will come with upper cabinets for additional storage (shown). This is a link to the pics:

But wait, there's more. About 98% of these discs have been ripped to four first-generation 2TB Sooloos servers. You will get these servers, a Sooloos Control One that only needs a new disk drive (easy to fix) and a Sooloos Source Five that seems to have a bad ethernet port (could probably be easily fixed by any hardware geek).
Finally, you will get several thousand extra blank Jewelsleeves so your collection can continue to grow.
The original value of everything offered here: 8,700 titles stored in sleeves, four custom oak storage chests with uppers, a complete Sooloos system, and extra sleeves, is over $160,000.
Offered for $50,000.
