Re: The end of physical media.
The charity shop was once a happy hunting ground for vinyl – I got many LPs I was much desirous of in my youth this way – in fact probably more than I had previously bought at full price.
Now it is CDs and DVDs. One shop in my town puts them on a large trestle table outside. There is a nominal price for each or a bulk offer. Sadly, I must have missed somebody donating a heritage railway part-work as I was only able to scoop up the remains but was more than happy to pay the asking price. I rather think they are pleased if someone steals the stuff – it saves putting them back into store.
