Old Vinyl

[rynnor]

My parents are moving so they wanted me to collect the last of my stuff thats been 'in storage' there for the past decade

I had an Uncle who died in 91 and left me a chunk of his record collection - I never went through it at the time and its just languished in a cabinet ever since.

Looking through it today theres some pretty nice stuff - the bulk of its by the rolling stones from their first album into the eighties plus a load of other stuff I've never heard of.

I dont want to keep em as I never listen to vinyl and these things look fragile - whats the best way to sell them?

I could go to a dealer but I'm bound to get completely ripped off - are there any good sites that can give me an idea of their value and is ebay a good option??

All advice welcomed...

Get a copy of the Record Collector Rare Record Price Guide '04. It's about £20, so go to a library.

Bring them round to my house, I'll give you a cup of tea and your bus fare home.

Anyway, I just bought a 2nd hand Roksan Xerxes today, with Tabriz tonearm, sounds fucking fantastic. Anyone who fancies owning a Linn Basik (my old turntable) can bid for it tomorrow on Ebay.

Might be worth hanging onto some of those records as they may become extremely valuable

...you could be at a Antiques roadshow with a bloke telling you your collection is worth thousands of pounds

This has still seven days to go.

MY dad was an avid hi-fi nerd way back in the 50s, he's still got a stack of really old vinyl, actually bakelite, discs, all 10" 78s.
