Here is the problem as I see it with this whole "hobby"; Unless one dwells with the 1% and can truck in really fine equipment through the years the old used components that I paid top dollar for are worth almost nothing now. At best pennies on the dollar. And I paid too much to just get rid of this stuff so storage space cost mount thru the years, To wit; Tannoy Rev3, Krell 2250 , Original albums water stained and played on 70"s turntables by small children and careless wives. But I persevere with class D integrated and Harbeth as best I can, Namaste Amigos.
Your thoughts on selling
Hey, all.
I've got tons of vinyl that I never listen to. I've sold in the past, but it was always a pain to grade as I never play-graded, but just visually graded prior to selling. But...vinyl being vinyl, some records that looked pristine apparently was noisy once received and played by the buyer, which caused me to refund the buyer (both the cost of the record and shipping) putting me on the negative side of the dollar equation. I also always told the buyer to keep the record.
So I'm considering doing this: Sell the record but only ask for shipping cost and have the buyer decide what the value of the record is, with one caveat that shipping costs will not be refunded.
Granted, some buyers will take advantage and say the Mo-Fi I shipped them was only worth 50 cents. But I think for the most part folks will pay a realistic amount.
Am I being naive or could this actually work? And by "work" I mean most folks paying a fair amount for said record?
Thanks,
Mamoru

@audiodwebe how about a list of what you have, and where you are located? |
@bubba12 my teen years were in an another country growing up. If I were to pick up the vinyl hobby it would be from scratch.. And with fair amount of advice from here and other places, I just don't see myself doing that.. Quite happy with streaming.. and you are right.. too much physical medium collects dust and occupies space.. |
Is this the case, or is this a REAL query? https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=dwebe
