What to do with our old vinyl albums.
Discussion
We shall be moving house in the next few months and we really need to have a good clear out before then.
Between the wife and myself, we have about 50 albums mainly from the 1970's. We have not had a record player for at least 20 years, so they are just gathering dust in the cupboard.
They are not in A1 condition, because they were well used in their heyday!
What is the most lucrative way of getting rid? there are a few classics amongst them, The Beatles, George Harrison, Led Zep, etc.
Thanks

Bit of a waste of the Beatles Seargent Pepper, don't you think. I'll make up a list in the next day or two.
Thanks.
check http://www.discogs.com/ to see if you've actually got anything that's worth any money - if they aren't in good condition then it's less likely.
Another decorative option, if the artwork is something you like would be something like this:

The Ikea one is just an example, and there are a few variations on the same theme like this..

If anyone is interested, my son in law put them on ebay individually a few months ago.
Some did well, some not so. For instance some of The Beatles did not go for as much as I thought they would, probably because they sold so many copies in the 60's!
The most lucrative of the lot was one I never even noticed! my wife's copy of Sea Shanties (High Tide album)
Just shows you what I know about old records

A lot of stuff that people think of as classic tends to be worth very little, because as you say, there are millions left, and they've been re-issued in CD. The CDs are pretty obsolete now as well of course. It's the obscure ones that can be worth something, particularly if they've never been re-issued.
