Topic: Great opportunity for someone?

	Knapp21 Member since Feb 2019 3 Points	This relates to my earlier post 'expert required in Gloucestershire' but I have created a new post because of relative urgency......... I'm getting a bit frustrated but please bear with me. I have a collection of 78's that I know nothing about, however with my friend Google I am finding out a bit more, so here's the situation, I would estimate that I have approx 500 or so old 78's some of which appear to be quite rare - a handful of single siders, approx 50 Pathe black labelled discs, a wide variety of different labels ranging from Victory, Gramophone Monarch, Winner, Edison Bell, Broadcast 12, etc through to the presumably less interesting HMV classical collections (in albums) and Columbia. Even as a complete ignoramus about these things I can recognise that it's a potential collectors goldmine. Here's the thing, I need them gone fairly urgently because they are heavy and take up space, after waiting in all afternoon yesterday for a 'genuine sounding dealer' who was a no show, my next possibility is to send them to auction - However as a collector of other things I know how frustrating this is for a genuine collector.( By the way I have removed them from the industrial unit mentioned in my earlier post and they are now safely stored at home.) SO: If there is anyone here, who can collect from Gloucestershire in the next day or so, and is happy to offer a bit of beer money to make me feel better - I'm all ears. Please help me before the missus pops down to the solicitors!
