Hope it is okay selling music - only saw hi-fi adverts, but I would prefer these to go somewhere and be played and I really don't fancy Ebay.....
Recently I bought a large record collection from a collector who needed to reduce his collection as his wife has plans for them to move to a house boat!!
He kept his 78s and rock and roll ('50s) stuff, but the rest got sold to moi. I have gone through them to pull out the stuff I want to keep. Much of the remainder is stuff I either don't want or have never heard of.
Condition was described as "Majority are EX with some VGs"
I have not looked at every record (there is a lot!!) but I have been pleased so far. In many cases the sleeve isn't what I would call EX, or in some cases even VG, but usually the vinyl is better than the sleeve.
I took some along to an audio meet a short while back and generally the people there who bought some off me were very impressed at the condition. I am new at this though so rather than me trying to grade, what I would like to do is put up the list - if you are interested in some records, state your list and I will pull out those records and describe them best I can.
I did this and sold a batch which I posted out to a chap on another forum and he was very pleased saying my descriptions matched how he would describe - so I think I'm doing ok.
I don't really want to mess around posting 1 or 2 records, so I have the pizza box type mailers which hold upto 20 records and I would prefer to sell in batches. If orders are small, then I will have to use something to pad inside the box.
Anyway, here is the list and if anyone is interested, then I shall take a look and report back with condition etc.
Postage cost I shall use Royal Mail 1st class recorded so £6.50 for 5 records and £1 extra for each additional. Doubles count as 2 for postage purposes.
The (long) list follows:
