You appear to be new here so I will tell you that this should be on the Buy, Sell & Trade board. You may receive some flak from some folks if you post this type of offer again within this section. Good luck.
In honor of the memory of Cpl. Michael E. Thompson
Thanks
About 15 years ago about 220,000 vintage records belonging to the Chapter 7 bankruptcy estate of Ray Dobard (look him up) were sold by the Chspter 7 bankruptcy trustee at am auction to a group of 3 or 4 guys who dealt in old records. They paid about $250,000 for the records. They resold them into global market for about $8,000,000.
@SanctionII .....
I had no idea old records were that in demand... I guess I should look at the stack (properly stored) that I have - not even looked at for the last 15 years...Cheers, RickO
I know several kids in their mid-to-late 20s who are quite enamored of the traditional record players and vinyl.
These include some of my nieces and nephews and their significant others, so I should have the right to call them kids.
Yes, this should be on the BST. Watch for condition issues with the older vinyl.
Wrong forum.
Mea culpa
There are some vinyl records that do have "errors"/varieties. I have a few. Best to verify with price guides before selling/trading any vinyl. They usually list the error type on vinyl. Also picture sleeves for the 45's are in high demand as well. They usually account for 1/2 the value in 45's.
I know about the sale of the records described above because of a court case I handled for a client the purchased a Berkely property owned by Dobard at a 2004 foreclosure sale. Personal property in the building on the property included about 80,000 vintage records. The personal property including the records were moved into storage. Dobard had died in 2003 and his heirs did not claim the personal property. The personal property including the 80,000 records was sold to my client at a storage locker auction. My client ended up reselling the 80,000 records to a record buyer for $270,000.00. He probably resold them for millions of dollars.

Even our local Walmart is selling vinyl records now.

Right. Speak of trading US coins for vinyl belongs on the Putin forum.

sell the records and then buy coins. research them and list them on discogs . com easy to list and sell and then buy coins here on the bst.
Destroyed, including 2 albums of my own that were cut in the late 1960's early 1970's. That's what happened to my "collection" of records, when our house flooded due to a ruptured pipe. The actual vinyl seemed OK, but all the jackets turned into mush, and I could not get all the mush off.
Sadly, many were "garage" bands from the 1960's / 1970's in the Los Angeles area. The 2 albums that I was a part of probably had no more than 500 pressed, and were sold / given away to friends / families / enemies etc. Burbank was a major recording area back then. We would go in the studio, do a bunch of takes, listen to master, edit it, and then, when all was OK (or ran out of money for more takes) the master would be cut, and then copies made from it. The artwork for the covers was also made, usually some picture of the band, often with the beach, surfboards, hot rods, in the background. The artwork was pretty lousy, not much better than a Xerox Copy, as real artwork took a ton of money.
It was a bit fun, at least in high school, of being a rock star idol, complete with groupies, when you actually had your own album to show off. True in Advertising: We were bad, songs were childish, riffs were poorly done, but We had our own album !!!!!
While most of the albums were "rare" they were not valuable, as no one cared, and for some people, they hoped their album would never see the light of day again. These were the albums that collected at the back of the milk crate at garage sales, no name, no hit wonders in their own minds, bands from Southern California, that eventually made their way to the landfills, but were part of a "time" in history. About 20 years after our last recording, I happened to be in the area where the studio was located. The whole area had been razed and had commercial buildings on it. I heard the guy who owned in had died, and probably all the masters were trashed when the studio was torn down.
My brother is the record dealer in the family. You can find him on Facebook under Brainiac Records.
