What should I do with unwanted vinyl?


My New Year resolution is to get rid of my modest vinyl collection. It hasn't been played for years and I don't see that changing so it needs a good home. I have close to 300 albums in condition ranging from near new to worn out. I could list it here for local sale or take it to a used vinyl shop but haven't a clue what to ask for it. I suppose I could even donate it to Goodwill. What do you think?

Worth depends on where you live, and how much work you are willing to put into selling them.
Where I live, your LPs are worth less that a buck each, IF you could find takers.
If you live in Australia... prolly' more.
Dylan, Beatles, Cream, Doors Etc.. are worth more if in near perfect condition.
Stuff like the Police, Cars.. worth maybe two bucks in perfect condition.
Selling the stuff for high prices is hard to do.
Ads here do sell some stuff, and I think are still free.
Look at them carefully:
Zero scratches and wear, near perfect covers, sell them here, ask $5. see what happens. For Dylan, Beatles, Doors, Cream, Pink Floyd in perfect condition, ask $10/$15
For ANYTHING with even one scratch that makes a click when played, the value is near zero: dump tham at the local Goodwill.
Good luck.
