Hey Tim,how are you?2 summers ago I went to a yard sale and walked away with 3000 LPs for 50 dollars.I kept a hundred or so and gave some away to a couple buds here on audiogon.I sold quite a few on eBay since then and made about $800I ended up with several hundred I didnt want,couldnt sell or even give away.Disposing of LPs is tough!I would 1) ask the people if they would sell you some2) take you time and go through each one and pull what you know you will play or be able to re-sell.3) ask them to tell you how much money they want for the bunch you pulled.Remember too that the condition of the cover and even the sleeve is very important to get top buck if you decide to sell some.Unless they want a ridiculous amount of money for the LPs give them what they ask for.I consider this fair.
Found a gold mine
OK here's the deal I have a friend who has parents(surprise!), well I noticed a pile of Records on the floor, EUREKA!!! He had no clue why I was excited, and proceeded to tell me they had more down stairs, I checked them out, they have approx. 1000 records, in very good condition. I know his parents well and they are pack rats, so I would be into purchasing this gold mine, any clues on how to get older folks to give up a music collection they don't listen to? They had tons of 60-80's rock/pop music with some Jazz and other various recordings(a few british imports). The real popular stuff, Rolling Stones, The Beatles, The Kinks, Pink Floyd, Def Leopard, Rick Springfield, The Chipmunks(you know alvin, simon and theodore, squeky little fellows), Velvet Underground, Dave Brubeck(including an original 'Time Out' in perfect condition!!!). My buddy could not understand why I was getting excited!!! I don't have a analog front end.......yet though I already have around 300 albums, this collection would be a nice addition.
