vinyl record buyer/collector ??

[neo]

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

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?

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
