LP collection

I inherited an extensive LP collection of early 50's first pressing classical and opera in stellar condition. Many are unplayed so they are not garage sale fodder. The question is what's the best way to sell them, and I don't want to do it one by one. Should I seperate them into small batches, by label, etc... Thanks in advance. Ron

If I were you, I would at least take some time to educate yourself on which of those records that you have may be very valuable - you could indeed have some real gems in there. If you just want to get rid of all of them quick, then Elizabeth's advice is good. However, if you really do have some that are worth quite a bit, you will want to sell those individually for sure. Also, bear in mind that most classical music lovers usually tend to like buy things individually, and will often pass on bidding on a big group of things. You will certainly make more money on them in the long run if you sell them individually, though this is a great deal of extra work.

Opera usually does not sell has well as traditional classical. I would think bundling opera with classical such as. Audiophile recordings that fitch a handsome amount be bundled along with the opera.Buy 1 get the other free..well almost free. The best to you.

Top dollar is a buck each if unopened, picked up. I am working on a buy of 50,000 lps. They are not cataloged. Best guess from prior buys is that maybe 5% have value over $5.00.
