This reinforces my decision to not go the vinyl route in my audio journey.. I still vividly remember the incredible feeling listening to vinyl in my early teens.. I am with @bubba12 A record store will take it off your hands. I took three big boxes of CDs to a store sometime back and ended up walking out of there with eighty two dollars heavier.. Looking back I wish I hadn't done that. Now with a nice CD player on hand I wish I had kept them..
Your thoughts on selling
Hey, all.
I've got tons of vinyl that I never listen to. I've sold in the past, but it was always a pain to grade as I never play-graded, but just visually graded prior to selling. But...vinyl being vinyl, some records that looked pristine apparently was noisy once received and played by the buyer, which caused me to refund the buyer (both the cost of the record and shipping) putting me on the negative side of the dollar equation. I also always told the buyer to keep the record.
So I'm considering doing this: Sell the record but only ask for shipping cost and have the buyer decide what the value of the record is, with one caveat that shipping costs will not be refunded.
Granted, some buyers will take advantage and say the Mo-Fi I shipped them was only worth 50 cents. But I think for the most part folks will pay a realistic amount.
Am I being naive or could this actually work? And by "work" I mean most folks paying a fair amount for said record?
Thanks,
Mamoru

@bubba12 my teen years were in an another country growing up. If I were to pick up the vinyl hobby it would be from scratch.. And with fair amount of advice from here and other places, I just don't see myself doing that.. Quite happy with streaming.. and you are right.. too much physical medium collects dust and occupies space.. |
