Just a rather late follow-on to Magic Marmalade's mention of house clearances. Some house clearances and estates are disposed of though auction houses.

I'd not generally recommend buying sight unseen or out of area for 78s - however tempting it is. The risk of ending up with shattered shellac is a real one. Many auction houses rely on a mix of online bids and room bids to move their lots now - and however well packed, 78s aren't likely to transport well..

However, if you're in a position to view pre-sale and - crucially - pick up yourself, the occasional collection may prove interesting.
