What are old 60s and 70s LPs, 33s and 45s worth?

I think you'll get much more selling them indivdually on ebay if you can be bothered with the hassle. Record shops aren't known for their generosity.
Get your hands on a copy of the Record Collector price guide (my local library usually has an up to date copy) to see if any are particularly valuable.
Condition is everything when it comes to pricing them.

Go to www.eil.com - its always entertaining to see their prices for selling or buying old and "collectible" music.
You could have a trawl around eBay and see what similar records are going for. For instance, if you search on the name of one LP and find hundreds with exactly the same description as yours, you're not going to make much. But watch out for little foibles such as different labels or matrix numbers, what looks like scrap could be a collectible. Or vice versa. 
I think EIL do a valuation service, don't they? Might be worth sending them a list of what you have. No doubt they'll offer you the lowest possible price for your collection, but they do buy batches of records IIRC. Might save you the hassle of listing stuff on eBay?
Or else you could take a flyer. Stick it all on eBay with details of one or two of the nicer pieces, and list it as "pot luck, buyer takes all". You never know your luck!

Any time. 
You could try gemm.com as well - better than eBay for records. You'll certainly find more accurate pricing on there than you would from EIL.
Nice one SGirl, I'll have a look at that later. I've already started making a list and have spotted some albums worth around a tenner each so might, just might make more than a tenner You could try gemm.com as well - better than eBay for records.

my father had a load of tamla motown stuff which we thought might be worth a few bob but it turns out it wasnt worth much at all.... it was so popular back in the day and so many sold that there is still a lot around and prices are low for the fairly generic stuff like diana ross, the four tops etc. from this experience, unless there are rare pressings, errors on the sleeve etc (like stamps) and things like that then they are usually not worth much at all....
the only pieces that made a bit of money were the limited edition sleeves and the ones that came with free stuff like lyrics sheets in the sleeve
