Advice on bulk record pricing?

I've got more records than I want to keep, and I'm coming off a major surgery and could use some cash.

I don't want to turn pricing/selling records into a full-time job, but I also don't want to sell $20 records for $5. I know I'll have to grade them, but I'd rather not spend a ton of time researching pricing in addition to the time it'll take to do the grading.

So, what's the easiest effective to way to get real-world pricing on records? Something faster than going to ebay and looking at the last 10 sales.

Thanks!

You could check out popsike.com. You can search the first 15 to 20 records for free and after that it'll prompt you to sign up for a fee.

Thanks for all the replies, some great suggestions here.

Thinking I might price stuff and get a stall at a record fair...individual shipping of $5 LPS will take so much time!

Hey Bassface

If your idea about the stall at a record fair doesn't work maybe selling your records online and mailing them out won't be so bad if you can get a Media Mail rate from the USPS website. Sending books, CDs, records etc via Media mail is a lot cheaper than USPS 1st class but it is slower. Also I believe the USPS also has pick up that you can arrange too.
