I think the reply is whatever someone is willing to pay for them. The truth is that 78s weigh a ton, are brittle and easily damaged, hold a very small amount of music, are difficult to play because you have to have specialist equipment and there is very little demand for them, hence no market demand.

On a positive note, if you put a starting price of say, £10 and list them on ebay with the requirement that someone comes and picks them up, you may well get rid of them without it costing you anything in petrol. Don't expect to make your fortune though, unless you have some American blues records on Okeh, or Elvis Presley on Sun.
