Vinyl is experiencing a Renaissance of sorts. It has been for a while. I did the same as you, but with my CD collection. Not all of them were accepted, and according to the store clerk I just missed selling them at the peak time.
I miss the accessibility of CDs, but even newer cars are not including players in them. I still have a decent size, but they're boxed up in the garage. Playing 180 gram vinyl has a warm sound to it. I appreciate that it forces me not to skip tracks like I would have with CDs or using a streaming service such as Spotify.
Let me know if you ever get back into vinyl and I can share some collecting tips with you (if you need it).
