What to do with pre-owned vinyl?


Background: From ~1978 to 1991 I collected  many100s of vinyl records. At least 50% were classical; the rest jazz, R&B, World music, reggae, gospel--maybe 1200 records total. A few of the classical LPs are likely collectable/valuable, but most fall below that threshold. I’ve had these LPs stored in boxes since 1991. It’s becoming obvious I'll never again have a TT set up to hear these records. BTW, I live in Goshen, NY.

Can anyone suggest a way for me to responsibly dispose of these LPs?

FYI, I’d be happy to give to a store or reseller for estimated value, or donate them for a charity write-off. Money isn't my biggest concern & I have no appetite for trying to sell them on my own.

I also have a ton of old/good audio gear in the same problematic state (stored by never to be used again)...but that’s another story for another day.

Thanks in advance for any useful advice...

i got the impression that the op had little interest in the extremely time consuming effort to go through them all laboriously one by one and just wants out of sight.

Try a ad on local Craigslist , Vinyl is a hot commodity right now and someone will surely come and take them all of your hands.
Sell all or nothing though, don’t allow any cherry pickers.
Good luck.
