warrenstuart 0 Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Hi Any suggestions where to off load my vinyl collection? Currently advertised on e-bay but not looking good... 99p start and no bids for over 2000 records!!!! I did a search before posting this thread and there have been a few similar questions but with no real replies of a constructive nature other than "DON'T DO IT", LOL! (i'm keeping my favourites and the best condition SL1210 out of the pair). I know i won't get a fortune for them but they're going nowhere for 99p. Warren. Link to post Share on other sites
DJTREV 0 Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 I am afraid that unless you are prepared to go to some length you will find very few takers.The days of vinyl are long gone and very few if any people are interested in vinyl collections. I remember trying to get rid of a load to a second hand dealer and he just wasnt interested. Car boot sales is your best bet. This is not a rehearsal This is it - grab it while you can.

spinner 0 Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 (edited) Get a copy of the Record Collector Price Guide so that you can check the values of any that might be sought after. That apart, if you put them on Ebay individually at a 99p starting price (say 10 or 20 at a time) you may have more success. Edited March 17, 2011 by spinner Link to post Share on other sites
DJTREV 0 Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 I would assume that most dj vinyl collections contain very few collectables,just the 'run of the mill' chart and dance music of the time. This is not a rehearsal This is it - grab it while you can. Link to post Share on other sites

I think this is the big problem to be honest. I put them on e-bay 4 years ago just before i moved house and cancelled the auction a day before it was due to finish as they'd "only" gone up to £200... HUGE MISTAKE! Now i'd rip someone's hand off if they offered me £200. We all live and learn Link to post Share on other sites

Depends on the type of DJ. I've made a lot of money selling 45s I bought in the 60's and 70's (mostly blues, soul R&B with some very rare pop). From one bout of selling I paid for replacement windows for my house. If you have only 100 discs worth £20 each (and I've had plenty that sold for a lot more than that) the proceeds will be quite substantial. Link to post Share on other sites
DJTREV 0 Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 I am surprised.Perhaps I should look in my loft. This is not a rehearsal This is it - grab it while you can. Link to post Share on other sites
