Will be selling two 45 rpm Blue Note Jazz collections. Need advice..

@tmw57   My suggestion would be to post them for sale as a package on Audio Mart.  It's free and will get you good exposure.  Prepare to take a substantial loss.  It has been my experience that the market is shallow and everyone is looking to pay 10 cents on the dollar.  You could also canvas any local record stores and see if they are interested in buying the lot.  It sounds like you have some great LPs, and it's unfortunate that the resale value is likely to be low.  Only my opinion and for your sake, I hope I am proven wrong.  Best of luck with the endeavor.  Cheers.

Many thanks for the reply!

Cheers

Well kept collections are quite valuable these days. I recently sold most of my jazz collection which included 96 MMJs to a local retailer for over 5 figures with hardly any negotiation at all.

In your case though, I would contact Chad Kassem at Acoustic Sounds in Selina Kansas. If what you have is legit, he might be interested.

I would not rush, looks there is a market for entire collections....random search showed me this add

On discogs individual records are on sale from 60usd up to 300usd a piece, so I would not dismiss that option either. Best of luck. 

Thanks so much for the above. That ad is quite helpful!

I contacted Acoustic Sounds yesterday to confirm that I had the compete (50 LP's) collection. And the price you got for your 96 MM's is along the lines of what I am thinking..

You could also check Discogs for listings.  What you have is valuable.

Yes, thanks, I checked Discogs. 

My local used record store pays about $.44 on a dollar resale value. I would think a collection like yours would bring more.

good luck
