Trying to Sell My Vinyl - Any Ideas how to get started?

I wasn't sure where exactly to put this topic, but figured I might start with the music forum. I recently came across some albums of my parents and have no use for vinyl. I am looking for the best way to sell them with out getting ripped off and need to know which are worth it, and which aren't. Any help or a point in the right direction would be appreciated. Thanks!

SKy

I've edited your thread as it looked very much like an advert from a brand new forum user.

If you wish to sell items her you will need to use the classifieds

Sorry about that, was really trying to get some input on the list of albums I had on whether it would be worth my troubles.

Again, I apologize.

Unfortunately the vinyl prices here in the UK may be very different to over in the USA.

Not sure I'd risk shipping it either.

Ah, I didn't realize that this was a UK only forum.

all visitors are extremely welcome

It just makes trading more problematic.

Hi Skyfox. There are some pretty good online LP retailers in the US, just do a google and find the nearest ones in your state. Otherwise Fleabay is the way to go. The US vinyl market is pretty good on there, I've used myself a few times to buy Japanese imports and MFSL vinyl.

Re: Trying to Sell My Vinyl - Any Ideas how to get started?

I too find ebay the best for selling vinyl - it also gives to a good idea of what the real value is when you see identical items listed & selling.

Most my vinyl has gone to German or the US, so I wouldn't worry about shipping, it's easy if packaged up correctly.

I've done pretty well out of selling off some pretty rare material.
