Agree that it is hard to give an answer without knowing the exact condition.
The biggest problem is the seller over-rating the condition!
An LP that looks perfect to you is probably only in 'good' condition, with that price being 1/2 of 'verygood' condition, and that price being only 1/2 of 'mint' condition.
So if you played them more than 50 times, they cannot poosibly be in better than good condition, (unless you have always been an Lp fanatic, with a record cleaning machine, and a $10K TT setup.
The joke about sending them to me... etc is actually a good one, because only SEEING the Lps can anyone say what they are worth.
The problem is that most of the LPs are only worth $2 to $4 max.
BUT: IF you have all the original Beatles LPs first pressings... and they have ZERO scratches.. no scuffs.. (zero scratches means you cannot see ANY scratches in sunlight from 4" to 6" away looking for any tiny ones.. not 'scratches' meaning they don't make noise when you play..)then you could get $10 to $20 bucks each for the early ones (up to the White LP)
As a general rule: no-one I have met, nor anyone I know of has ever come across a dude selling their old record collection (of 400 LPs or less) that had anything worth bothering about.
Now if your record collecting uncle left you his 'most prized' mint collection of 2,000 Blue note original Jazz recordings he purchased himself fifty plus years ago, most never played...(out of his 20,000 LP collection)
Then you might have some money.
