What to do with old vinyl

[john_p]

..no not the gimp suit

I have about 100 dance music records that I bought between 1999-2004 and have now got fed up of them, so to eBay they must go. Mostly trance, some hard trance and a few others.

The question is, selling 100 vinyls and taking photos etc is going to consume far too much time and I have no idea how much they'll go for (or even how much they'd cost to ship, and in what packaging)

Do I sell them in groups? Do I need pictures of the covers? What about white labels (I have quite a few) .. any better places than ebay, etc etc

Your local record shop (every big town or city has one) will give you good money for these.
Beats the hassle of selling them via Ebay too.

You could try Discogs. As the name suggests, it's a cataloging site and each entry has a link to members who are selling the tracks. So all you have to do is create a profile, add all the records you have (even the most obscure dance records are on there) and put them all up for sale - all much easier than it sounds.

I don't know how easily things sell on there though.

Depends on how much you want for it and how quickly you want to get rid of it. Somewhere like EIL will buy job lots, don't know how well they pay though. Probably not as much as you'd get by selling privately, anyway.

Could MVE Soul & Dance in Notting Hill in That London.

I took a lot of my duplicate vinyls in, and got £2 exchange each for the rarer ones and £0.05p exchange each for the common techno / trance stuff.

This is a good option. Loads of DJs regularly check there, can sometimes take a while to sell.

I buy rare record on Discogs. te selers have not let me done so far.

Be prepared for a long wait to see it all though.
