 | jeff573 Member since Aug 2017 3 Points | HELP !!! I have a big box of very old records (Brunswick,Columbia, Deca, Rondo just to name a few) that I want to sell. How would I go about that without getting totally ripper off? I am looking to sell the entire box at one time for %50 under market. |

 | Charlie Chalk Self praise is no recommendation. Member since Oct 2011 45526 Points Moderator | I'm guessing you mean '78s' rather than '12" singles'. |

 | Lee Wrecker If you can't dig me, you can't dig nothin' Member since Nov 2013 2283 Points | At 50% of market value you'll have to pay to get shot of them. Other than that you could learn how to clean them, listen to them, keep the ones you like research the value of the others and then try to find someone willing to pay that price which is harder than it sounds. These "I have a box of records" posts are very similar to the "how long is a piece of string" question. If they are 78's, as Charlie Chalk suggests, they are not worth much unless they are in very good condition and of some interest to collectors. You could have a big box of treasure or a big box of trash, and if you don't want to do the groundwork, no-one else will. There are so many variables that come into play, no-one can really answer your question, and this is not a buying and selling site so searching on here won't help. Discogs is a site that does attach market values to records if you want to look up the value of whatever is in the box. Edited by moderator on 24th Aug 2017, 8:50 AM |

 | xiphophilos Member since Dec 2013 3362 Points Moderator | Since your stash includes Rondos (mostly Ken Griffin organ records), you likely have post-ww2 78 rpm American pop records. Most of your records will be so common that they won't be of any interest to serious collectors. Don't expect to get more than between 10-50 cents per record, and don't be fooled by the fantasy prices some people on ebay demand (and never get). Check out the FAQ section here: http://www.78rpm.com/. Auction houses are unlikely to be interested, so Craig's List or a donation to a thrift store is probably your best bet. |
