I was in the similar situation, but without records or anything I could sell to get my money back :(
In your situation you have to check the value of the record collection first. Those dealers won’t pay much for collection if you want to sell everything at ones. You’re lucky if there are some rare records that cost a lot, but there might be only some cheapies, who knows. Did you check the titles? Use popsike.com to check for final auction prices, use discogs to check for price statistics. You could sell some of the rarest and most expensive records if there are any.
Personally I wouldn’t sell record collection if there are good records I could listen to.
