Old records

I am not sure if i am posting this in the wrong place but I have a stack of old LP's and singles to sell and I dont know how to go about it. I have so many I dont think E bay is an option as it would take way too long.
Any ideas on where to go with them. The recoreds are all Tina Turner, Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac. I have Ltd editions, imports and all sorts and they are currently sat in a pile gathering dust.

Thanks

    take them to a car boot, there were people buzzing around my old records like flies i made good money off them too and got what i thought they were worth, several people who i imagine were traders offered me money to take the lot away but i refused opting to sell individually and they (100 or so) were mostly gone in 2 car boots, the records sold better than anything else i ever took to a car boot and i do them regularly as a confirmed carbootaholic:D
    proper prior planning prevents !!!!!! poor performance! :p

    Try selling the limited editions and imports etc on eBay and car boot the rest. Have a look on eBay to see what your records are worth before going to the car boot - you will then know what to charge people and won't feel like you are losing out.
    It's true what angchris says in the post above - people LOVE buying records at car boots, they will have your car doors open before you have stopped!
    Good luck!
