Advice on bulk record pricing?

You could always auction them on ebay to th highest bidder, and let the market decide what is a fair price. You can save a few bucks by setting an initial first bid at say $10 instead of using a reserve price. Also, list them all at the same time so you only have to make 1 trip to the post office. Send them via media mail which is $4. Boxes for records are very cheap-just google cheap boxes for lps. Cheers.

The vast majority of popular records are going to be in the $5 to $10 price range in near mint condition. If you think you may have some records that are worth more, your best bet is to consult a book like the Goldmine price guides. Determining which ones are the rare ones will be quicker with a price guide than with the eBay method.

As a consumer I tend to visit local stores even more often than finding something on ebay or any online record store cuz I simply don't want to pay extra $4 for shipping. Shipping charges destroy this kinda business even for CDs. I'd try to place adds locally on craigslist.

I guess it would depend on the genre's of music. I've seen bulk record listings for pristine classical music records go for a buck a piece to up to $3 a piece. Like Marakanetz said donating these records to the Salvation Army or Goodwill could get you a better savings on your tax bill. I realize that doesn't give you money now but it could next year.

Maybe for pricing try oldies.com? I get their catalog periodically and they have all sorts of genre's of music on vinyl.

Classical is only worth a buck a title, maybe $2. And that is only if in really good condition. The only Classical Lps worth more in general, are Mercury 90000 Some Stereo RCA Shaded Dogs, Glenn Gould.. and really obscure stuff no one ever heard of.
Any 'easy listening' Classical are just junk fodder.
Any pop easy listening is junk store fodder.. (though hot babe cover art can get $$)

Jazz LPs can vary greatly. from a few bucks to hundreds for early Blue Note.
So you would have to know what you have.
Rock is also all over the place. with early stuff needing to be in really great shape to be worth much. Though the real 'classic' stuff is in big demand.. Beatles, Cream, Doors, Dylan
R&B can be worthless or worth a lot even in only fair condition. ((i bought one for twenty cents, sold it to my dealer for $20 who was very enthusiastic to have it.. and who knows what he sold it for.. It was listed as mint $200. and this one was scratched up pretty good..))

The only way to not just sell them for a tenth of thier value is to either find a golden hearted dealer who will pay you a fair percentage .. 50% of value, or YOU sell them individually at auction.
Record pricing guides are out of date, and often have insanely high prices from 30 years ago,maybe?. (Belafonte Carnagie Hall is listed at $100, and can be found ANYWHERE for $3.. so you get my drift...)
Anyway,the real answer is NO. there is no easy way.

I am lucky lucky I have two dealers who buy my unwanted stuff for decent prices. The others in town offer pennies an LP even though they will turn it around and sell it for $50..
(i just sold 50 ordinary DVD movies for $140 cash,or $170 credit.. to one of them.. WOW considering most places offer ten cent per DVD ...) So I guess it is who you know..
