Selling all of my vinyl.

Here is what I have.

1) approx 300 rock/pop LPS

2) approx 200 jazz LPs. (mainly small group. saxophone dominates )

3) approx 300 classical LPs and 20 box sets. includes a little collection of approx 80 "full tulip" DG.

4) approx 800 12" ( about 100 are bands/names that I know. The rest are unknown (to me) names/labels, and are groove based dance music.)

5) hundreds of 78s. mainly classical, but lots of jazz too.

There is way too much for me to list, so im hoping for a job lot sale.

£700 for everything. condition is good on everything........ I have a garage full of rejects!!! ( free, if wanted )

Im looking to buy jazz CDs. If anyone has some that they dont want. Im very open to swaps !!!!

At this stage, im not prepared to get in to posting, so it is collection only. I live in west lancs/merseyside

I will break up the collection as needed, to anyone who would like to come here to have a look, and wave crisp notes in my direction.

I also have a MOTH record cleaning machine available.

Also, 2 of the IKEA EXPEDIT LP storage cabinets. These are the 4 x 4 versions. ie 16 seperate compartments each.

At one time I thought of selling individually, so I bought hundreds of cardboard mailers. Plans have changed, so they are for sale also.

I'd be interested in the Rock/Pop as a job lot if that suited you.

And one of the Ikea units.

Good luck with the sale, Brian, but just a word of advice, and to be realistic.... Unless you're *very* lucky mate, you've got next to no chance of selling your vinyl, unless you categorise it properly, in terms of condition, and price each record individually, as Dean does, see below, which I'd use as a template:

https://theartofsound.net/forum/showthread.php?60050-Autumn-Record-Sale

Therefore, what I'd advise you to do is list it, as above, in lots of, say, 20 albums at a time. Then once they've sold (or the bulk of them), listen a further 20, and so on, until hopefully at the end they've all gone.

Also, some nice pics of a few of the LPs for sale in question, showing their general condition, both in terms of the sleeves and records themselves, would also go a long way towards getting them sold. Putting a little bit of effort in, when constructing ads like this, can often go a long way!:cool:

Marco, thanks for the advise. Of course you are correct. I agree that your suggestion would be the best way to release lots of money.

I just don’t have the time!!!!

So, I feel I have set a low price in order to tempt folks.

For example, the value of the jazz stuff is probably worth close to my asking price on its own.

I have this LP, for example. Amongst about 10 others by Phil Woods. I’m sure they are very desireable.

It has taken me 3 or 4 minutes to research this....... I just don’t have the time!!!!!!

So, I am willing to take a financial hit, in order to sell stuff.

If it doesn’t work, then I will think again.

But I feel it is worth a try.

Nice one, I've just sold off over 120 vinyl LP's and taken a substantial sum of money for them but I have done mine LP by LP via ebay. I still have quite a few to shift though. Very best of luck !

Hi Brian, that phil woods LP is tops £7-8, that pic from eBay is not a real reference mate. Sorry!

I wouldn't use eBay as a reference at all for your Vinyl. Try discogs BUT take the medium price
as spikes in odd ball one off sales at the top of the sold list also cannot be taken too seriously.

That should give you a realistic valuation of what you have.

Adam, thanks.

I accept what you say.

It kind of proves my point. I did a few minutes research on one Lp, on one source of info.

My collection is near 2000. Imagine thorough research on “ correct “ prices for that lot.

I received your Pm. Let’s see what happens.

If you need help very quickly pricing the Jazz I can do that for you. I'm very up with what goes for what money. And honestly too!
Either that or get a local record store buyer (if you have one) to pop by your gaff and price the lot up as one bundle of all Genres.
Don't let them cherry pick or you'll be left with £1 shitty bits!!

Adam, I don’t know which Ben Webster you have picked up, but if you don’t have this, then this is the one you are missing.

From memory, it is mostly in mono, but it is the best recorded sax you will find........from any era.

Of course, I have it in my collection !!!

Brian is aware of my interest in the whole shebang - this is just to make AoS members aware of that. It is a joint interest on behalf of myself and Speedracer. Awaiting a response from Brian..

Mike, funnily, my wife is happy too!

We ( ok, she ), has decided that the Ikea shelving would be a great place to store all of the papers, music, assorted crap etc etc that presently covers most of the floor.......she is right, as usual.....So the shelves are no longer for sale.

Ah, that's great, glad you managed to get it sold and especially as a whole package.

Glad your units have found a use too.

Taking the trouble to do this when folks are looking to pick it up for a song sounds like it's not worth the hassle. I've 1100 lp's all in good nick and 1600 cd's all pristine, with past encounters, pop my clogs tomorrow and some vulture will offer the missus 50 quid for it all. Rather skip the lot.Try giving it away for free and see the crap you get. Bought and sold stuff on Audiogon for years, fair price you want it, you pay it. This glorious Kingdom, what's your lowest price, my answer is usually can you not read muppet!
