What kind of condition are they in and who are the performers? You might have some that might be worth hanging on to or consulting a collector.

Thanks!

That may be something to take on that Antiques Roadshow if it comes around your area.

Always so helpful, A!

@Mama_Cakes I found myself in a similar situation, except I’m not running out of room (yet!). In the process of doing an inventory, I found I had an old LP that was worth $100. I’ll be setting up a store in E-Bay.

@Mama_Cakes Try looking up valuations on eBay or elsewhere on line. Hell, you might even sell them on eBay! Then you’ll know if you want to keep them or sell them. Records in good condition (no skips) are sought after these days.

Definitely search for prices online, as others have stated. If you have the time to sell via ebay or Gemm, you would certainly get the most money for them at those places. Might take some time to search, but it could be worth it.

If you don’t want the hassle of selling online, take them to local record shops and see what they would give you for some, or the whole lot.

You could also have someone sell them at a yard sale or something similar. Definitely don’t just pitch them until you know if they might be worth something to someone else, even if they are not worth anything to you.

I’ve been trying to get tickets to Antiques Roadshow for over eight years. You register and they select participants at random. I’m still trying to get selected. I’d take them to a local antique dealer to get an initial idea of their worth.

Sell them to a record store.

I have hundreds of records which were collected in the 1950’s and 60’s. I called a professional dealer who asked for a list of the titles, and it turns out I should donate them to a charity and take the tax write-off, because buyers are not the least bit interested in them.

We have exactly one that was worth anything ($75.00), and it requires finding a buyer, which is as rare as the record.

If they are in bad shape, bundle them up in groups of 5 and sell them for a buck a bundle as targets.

Just post them to me :)

They could definitely be worth something. I too would check valuations online at least and then see if there are any sites that sell records to collectors.

DON’T throw them away.

Craigslist them. If you can’t sell them, give them “free to good home”.

If it has music that has popular track you can find people who like to listen to it on LPs

You could donate them to the new Vinyl Library that opens in London tomorrow. http://www.factmag.com/2013/06/24/londons-first-all-vinyl-lending-library-to-open-next-month/

So, what happened?

I have 8 vinyl 33⅓ records that are adult records (double meanings). Is there a market for them? Black & White label, High Society, lets have fun, kicks and wind breaker record labels.
