Where to sell vinyl records?

if its instant money you need then take them to a 2nd hand record dealer/shop but you won't get anything like what you could make through discogs or on ebay (if they are rare/originals etc). Selling them at a car boot your not going to get anything more than 50p per record regardless of how rare they are.

Discogs is very good, I've sold loads of vinyl on there and have made some good money from it. Used to sell loads on ebay but over the last 12/18 months this market has dried up unless the 12"'s that your selling are wanted items. Buy a load of record mailers (just the mailer not the inserts as they push the cost of postage up) from ebay, make sure you get your postage right as you'll lose money if not. The most amount of time and effort is spent at the post office once you've sold your item but if can manage to spare an hour or so a day then you'll be fine.

Check out local record fairs aswell.

Like someone previous said rare drum and bass and classic house can fetch a good price, even if you don't sell on discogs go on there and see what other people are selling for.

Before you think about selling them as a job lot, I would seriously consider going through them individually on discogs and checking how much people are selling them for.

Just to say aswell, those records on htfr wanted list are normally ones which you will sell quickly on discogs as they are sought after. Htfr offer you peanuts for them, and sell them on at a huge profit, you will lose out.
If you have drum and bass records and older classic house (esp. breakbeat) then you need to sell them individually as you will never get their true value in a job lot. I find discogs turnaround quick as the people on there know what they want, I would definitely recommend that site.

Please please please don't sell your rarities at a boot sale, you would only lose out. I have sold several sought after dance vinyls for around 80 quid each, so I would seriously advise you to check their value before even contemplating a boot sale. Whilst I understand you need some cash quick, if you have some rare vinyl you get rid of quickly you could lose quite a bit of profit. I'm very passionate about dance vinyl records, I know what I'm looking for, and I have an idea of what will sell, I quite often buy job lots just for 1 record, and I more than make my money back.

If you need any help, please pm me I would be more than happy to help you out.

Hi Andy

I may be contacting you! Our LPs were probably only played two or three times as we have sprung floorboards. DH used to listen, select and then tape. A lot of his albums we have subsequently replaced as CDs.

Most of our stuff is from the early 70s - Led Zep, Crosbie, Stills & Young etc. Some Beatles and Stones stuff. Should we point out to our kids that these are worth money when we snuff it?????

We do have 60s stuff in the loft, Beatles, Stones, Motown etc but scratched to bits from those flat parties!
