Several hundred is a small collection. Do your research and price them individually. Go to U-Haul and get several record boxes, cut off the top flaps, insert records. Put them all in the garage, on a table with good lighting or in a secure room in your home. Put an ad on Craigslist listing the type of music, labels and any other descriptions you want. Make this an appointment only, cash sale and stick to it. I have done this several times with very good results. If you want to sell online, you need to invest in folding record mailing boxes.
Cataloging vinyl collection with values
I have several hundred vinyl records and a couple dozen 78's. The vinyl are mono (not all in RIAA) and stereo. Mostly jazz, classical and rock. Many are collectable. Almost all are "one owner" and are well-cared-for, acquired between early 50's to mid 90's.
I will be liquidating my collection so my Heirs won't have to deal with them. There is some interest from wholesale buyers who I have talked to, or I may sell online.
What is the best method to catalog these records? I'd like to be able to present a list or spreadsheet to prospective buyers - hopefully with estimated market values for many.
Whether I sell online or not, I'd like to get an idea of fair asking prices.
Is there a universal format, or online vendor's site where I can enter collection and data? One that can be printed/emailed/linked so I can show or refer to?
