Vinyl Music collections

[Flick]

Hi what is the best way of selling a vinyl music collection - in bits or as bulk?

Many thanks

If you have no significant collectors' items, then 'bulk' is best. Check out the small ads in Record Collector magazine, and someone will take them off your hands, but obviously their monetary value will be small because you have copies of albums which exist in thousands if not millions of lofts and spare rooms, so their re-sale value is not high. Make a list - start e-maling / calling / writing, and see what the market is offering.

Or, get a car-boot / record fair pitch and do it all yourself, if you feel inclined.

If you are thinking of selling at a record fair it's worth checking out what sort of fair it is.
I mention this because I sometimes sell at a fair myself, but it's a specialist fair devoted to jazz, blues and classical. If you turn up with the "wrong" stock, you might not find many buyers!

Thanks guy - no it's a proper collection with rarities and collectables in there. Thanks I'll check out Record Collector.

Hi Flick, I had a large collection of rarities to sell some years ago and eventually sold them all to this guy

If you send him a detailed list I think you'll find that his offer would be very good. He has a priced want list on his site as well. Good luck
