Thread Name: Valuing your collection
Subject: RE: Valuing your collection
I recently decided to sell a collection of some 4000 LPs, and firstly researched eBay. Not a happy story, I'm afraid. Pages and pages of similar items to mine, all listed with starting bids of £0.99 and NO BIDS. Quite a few "Buy it Nows" with asking prices, but obviously not sold. So, I concluded it could be a very long process getting rid, and I may end up with very low prices. (There were a few exceptions where very rare collectables were getting high bids).

So, I gave up and sold them to a dealer, and got what was less than their perceived worth, but a fair price for considerably less hassle.

Job done.
