Time to weed the LPs.... (choosing stuff to dump)

When I relocated from England to the states I made a huge mistake( in hindsight) by giving all my vinyl away and seriously culling the CD collection ( quite weighty and cost to ship). 
Paradoxically I kept all the cassettes!
So an enforced cull.
Of course 18 years in the USA and it got out of control once more but I fixed the CD issue with a Bluesound vault2 and stored the CD in the loft AFTER picking out all the losers and selling on eBay.
Actually culled my cassette collection too and sold off job lots on eBay at like $0.25 each! Soon went!
Vinyl.....well another story. Keep threatening to go through them but every time I start I just end up putting ones in question on the tt then end up putting them back. Hopeless I know!
One day...... 

The most they have paid me for one LP was $50. just sayin'.My recent sell? 27 Lps and a box set $320. I'm not selling "Sing Along With Mitch"... Or "Firestone Christmas"...Most I made on one LP? Found some old very rare $$$$ beat up LP. paid $0.25 told them and they gave me $25 for it anyway.

Now here is a thread that everyone will have an opinion about. 12K records! Have you ever watched “Hoarders?” But, seriously, my advice would be to ask yourself how long has it been since you listened to certain records in your collection. If it has been years, and you still aren’t motivated to put them on, then sell them. Vinyl is hot now and I suggest you sell them privately, not back to a record store. Have a major sale at your home (garage). Advertise on sites like (well, you know who they are) and wait and see. I had guys (always guys) sitting in front of my house for an hour before I even opened the doors. It worked for me. Give it a try. Just my 2 cents.

tonykay.. I guess you scanned and eyes popped at "12K records"... ignoring everything else, and immediately jumped down to offer your opinion?   I have no idea otherwise what you are rambling on about. If you had bothered to read the actual whole sentence the 12K record words were in, you would ALREADY KNOW I dumped 6000 of them EIGHT YEARS AGO, when I moved. (most of the discarded were Classical, and were all given away to charities) And that I now only own about 4,500 as I cull them down.
On the other hand I am glad you can hand out advice on ’How to waste endless hours selling records". Glad it worked for you. I have zero interest in either selling them on the sidewalk, or selling them online. Online you need boxes, then you got the complainers, and the crooks. Plus it is like actual work. Not for me.
And I LIKE my Record Dealer, he has given me plenty of good deals, and piles and piles of great records. Why would I try to cut him out? I WANT him to do well..Plus he actually pays me a good and fair price.So my suggestion is actually go back and read the post I started this thread with LOL.

Hey, Schubert!  Of course I was Air Force!  Was it the checklist that gave it away?

i am always fighting that hoarding mentality.  Approaching 1500 records and I can’t imagine having 12000 and still being married. 

I rarely sell my records but did buy a Simon and Garfunkel record once at a garage sale.  Turned it was a rare mono print in mint condition and sold it on eBay for $165 to some guy in Austria.
