How much to sell LPs for at a car boot

lowonmoney

I'm doing a car boot tomorrow if the weather holds out. I have a box of LPs that my father-in-law gave me. How much do I sell them for?

Thank you.

couple of quid each? Check out ebay and see if you have any that are worth any more?!

What each or as a bundle of 40?

i have a record shop on ebay, so am a seasoned expert! Definitely recommed going on there first to make sure none of them are rare or collectable, if not it depends on the music but probably £1 each if they are not rare. Maybe worth taking to a record collectors shop first?

I found mine difficult to shift at a car boot, even at 10p a go, but I did sell a few at around the 50p-£1 mark within haf an hour or so of arriving so maybe they were 'good ' ones.

I'd say 50p-£1 for most LPs, maybe £2+ for any collectable ones. It's worth checking eBay etc for any worth serious money. My hubby once got an obscure New Order LP for 25p and sold it to a dealer for £15.

i picked up a job lot of 22 records for £8, and i only bought this as i knew a rare one was in there... which i promptly sold on ebay for $92.

try these sites for comparrison

www.musicstack.com
www.cdandlp.com
www.gemm.com

all 3 are second hand specialist record trader sites similar to ebay.

When checking on ebay for prices remember to check the ebay.com site as well as ebay.co.uk as you'll hit an international audience and are more likely to get a true figure of the prices due to the higher volume of listings

Only bargain I ever picked up on the record front was a copy of Aeroplane by Jethro Toe...... which I knew was mis-named since it should say Jethro Tull......I paid £0.40 for it at a collectors fair in 1994 ( to be honest my knees were knocking in case the guy realised how valuable it was and took it back from me ...LOL ) and I sold it to a US buyer for £125.00 about 3 months later.
