Record Collection Value...?

[joey]

Hi all.

Someone local to me has put a record collection of around 2500 7" and 12" records, but put offers,

They said they dont know what they want for them, what would be a good price for them? i wouldnt really know what to offer, and i dont even know what sort of records there is. Im guessing it would be a real mixed bag of stuff.

What would you offer in this situition?

Cheers :)

£2.50

£2.50

I offered £50 as a starting point but she said no, so dread to think what she would say to £2.50 :lolsign:

I think that on the information given £2.50 is a fair price - they might be the result of an ardent Des O'Connor fan obtaining multiple copies of everything he ever inflicted upon a listening public ;)

In truth you need to find out lot more about the content of the collection, and its condition.

Yeah not a bad shout should of thought of asking so just sent her another message, and asked if they are in orignal cases or blank ones, she did say they where in flight cases which could mean they where a DJ's collection :mental:

Ah just re read the post

and it says
DJ Record Collection for sale
Covering songs from the 50s to the 90's
Thousands of records 7" + 12"

So it is a DJ's collection so i think my £50 offer was good

Yep, they'd have been played to death with a cheap knackered stylus, you are being too generous :eyebrows:

Yeah i think im now to :/ oh well she said when she thinking of a price and would get back to me.

The message back just now was

as its a DJ collection - all the records are original and to protect them the majority are in specially designed cardboard sleeves. Some are still in their original sleeves and these are not catalogued - thats DJS for you! lol - All music, rock, pop, soul, disco, reggae, ballads, dance etc

I would offer £0 without being able to inspect. If what the seller really wants is an appraisal, I would charge the seller for that service.
