Most of my friends are into decent stuff, so if I don't like an album I'll swap it for something they have that they don't like. Recently, I got a terrible Homestead label punk record that I traded for a Man or Astroman Picture disc. Both were worth an amount more than paid for, both appreciated by their respective swapees.
I find often that records I really hate are worth sticking with and waiting a few years until my taste changes. Cobra Killer's first album was the worst album I heard when I got it, but my taste has changed and I actually quite enjoy it now. I was bequeathed a load of jazz records when I was 15 or so. I listened to them at the time, hated them, and put them away. 6 or 7 years later I realised I was sat on a shitload of great stuff. Less haste, more good records, as the phrase doesn't say.
