neo Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 long shot but ........ My parents are in the process of sorting their vinyl record collection dating back to the 50/60/70 periods, they are giving loads to a few local charity shops but before they do does anyone know of a record collector website or shop that i can browse as they don't want to give anything away that could be worth a lot more than the charity shop would sell it for, then they would make a larger cash donation from the the sale. sorry if the above is a bit of a ramble, short on time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stanski Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Hiya Before we begin - I need to understand if you or them are in a hurry to sell - if you are then I cant help you but if you want to get the best value for the records (if in good condition and with a decent sleeve) then read on Have a peep on these: there is a search on this one? http://www.vinylrecords.co.uk/RecordCol ... Guide.html http://www.recordcollector.co.uk/ http://www.recordcollectorsguild.org/ http://www.moremusic.co.uk/links/uk_res.htm Record fayres are plentiful and very popular! Your local music shop (loads specialise and collect Vinyl - are worth a shot but remember they will see £££££'s!) Ok music from 50's , 60's and now 70's is in fashion so if they have the usual suspects - Motown, Elvis, Beatles, Bil Haley and the comets, Northern soul etc - that sort of thing your usually onto a winner! If they are first presses then your deffo onto a winner! Remember Vinyl never went away it just bubbled under the covers until recently when its come back with a vengance - people are getting a bit fed up of MP3 music and CD's they want the proper retro vinyl with decent large artwork on it etc - loads of new bands release on vinyl still today so dont devalue it. Best thing is to do is get organised - write down all the music you have - artist, song name, year , record label and if its 7 or 12" , album ? When you search around the web its easier to search via record labels makes things easier to find. If they have any Northern Soul (or Southern Soul) from the 60's / 70's -let me know I will have it !! Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
