Member since Feb 2012 7198 Points Moderator | If they aren't on the site already it would be great if you could add them, then we can see bit more about them. Personally I'm no expert on the 78s side of things but we have a few users who are, who may be able to offer some feedback. |

 | Jock_Girl A girl who looks good in vinyl Member since Dec 2012 1544 Points Moderator | Yes they are, but its relative. For example, my copy of Pathe 35500 cost me 25 cents at the local Sally Ann's. If you look here though, you will see that a copy sold for an much much greater amount! Sale It was huge international hit -- good song too! That said, the problem is that the market is small and you'd have a hard time finding an enthusiast to buy them. There is also the fact that given the fragility of the records, one would hope, if you sell them and ship them, they'd arrive intact! Amy |

An easy way to figure it all out is to google on the label and catalogue number. Many times you'll find links to eBay etc that you cut an paste from Amy |

| slholzer Not my circus, not my monkeys. Member since Dec 2014 619 Points | Random thoughts on Chinese records: selling as units means shipping as units - pain in the you know. Rarity: relative as they say. They were made for a population of millions, therefore made in the millions, But they are mostly over there and we, of course, are not. Moreover, most of them were made pre-WW II. China has been thru very hard times since then, How many can be left. I would tend to think that post-Mao Chinese records are pretty rare here. American-made Chinese records for the American market probably have some historical interest. Most Americans do not speak Chinese and do not "feel" Chinese music. If I were looking to make money, I would not invest in Chinese records. Try contacting the guys at Bluesworld. they auction ethnic records. or go to the master, Kurt Nauck. If anybody can sell them, he can. |
