15,000 LP's - What to do with records?


Yes, 15,000.

This was acquired from a private collector - mostly (approximately 90%) have never been spun. Each with protective covers, each stored in proper indoor temperatures and style.

Going through now making a list, but not excited about selling one, two, three at a time.

You guys know any shops that would pay properly for such a huge lot?

I may be wrong, but if you are located in the SF Bay Area, I can tell you that I talked to aomeone working the RecordMan's Parking lot sale. He said that he sold his collection, by the ton, to Rasputin's. He got something like $1200 for them(i.e., not a lot). I would not think the RecordMan would give you too much, but they now have a $5 store, so some of the more popular ones might get you more money. Half-Price Books might give you more, but probably couldn't handle the volume. Your best bet might be Audiogon or E-bay?
Amoeba Music would also buy good chunk, especially they are NOS jazz and classical, if you are in LA area or SF area, and probably pay a good chunk for it.
You can keep some select ones for yourself.

It is a good problem you got there.
And yeah, If you do it right, you might get a new 'porschecab' out of the sell ;-)
