    How does one go about selling of their vinyl collection?

    I think i have decided it's time to part ways. No idea how to go about attacking it. Wondering if anyone on here has experience it selling them off?

          but that Rancilio Silva machine i want looks so inviting, surely it would get more use then the 2-years untouched vinyl I have.

          But yeah, really on the fence about wether or not it's a good idea.

            take up a side job putting ham and mayonnaise on bread.
            as soon as you sell your vinyl you will hate yourself.
            thats a fact!

              Try selling the nagging girlfriend instead.

                don't do it dude. it's not worth your time. you'll get 1, maybe two dollars per record. Looking back at the hundreds of records i sold, i realized later down the road that I wished i had most, if not all, of them back.

                    the fact is you will regret it, and you will never get anywhere near the compensation you deserve for all the time and money you put into collecting the records.. unless you have multiple copies of some gems worth a lot of money, it isnt worth it.

                      yeah i think any way to make any amount of decent money is to sell each title which is worth anything individually. if this is ebay, etc this means a lot of time spent on your listings and whatnot, but if you sell in bulk you are going to just get screwed.

                        ^^ yeah, unless you add on 5 or 6 dollars in shipping.. i used to buy records on ebay all the time, and some of the shipping fees were ridiculous, especially over seas, but i got some GREAT records, and dont regret it and will never sell

                          if you're an intelligent record collector and have a really nice rare collection you want to part with, put them up on ebay, one by one, and sell them off that way. i'm just guessing here, so correct me if i'm wrong, but your collection is all the popular stuff you used to be into that everyone else also bought at the same time, and now you just don't want it- aaaaaaaaaaaand nobody else does either. your time is worth more than you'll get for your "collection."

                          instead you're better just saveing them, and when your 60 you can break them out and crack open a beer and remember the good ol days and get all nostalgic and poop on yourself.

                            plus, in keeping them, you'll have extra ammo against a zombie attack at your residence.

                            no, put that original copy of blue monday down. that's a keeper!

                              yup...i got a few steals on ebay for some random good tunes i came across. you do have to watch out for the s+h though esp overseas. i always scoped for that before i bid. if the s+h is 14.99$ then that pretty much means i didnt want to spend more than a few bux on the record unless i really wanted the tune bad.
