This looks like a terrible investment

Yeesh. Sorry to hear that.
Wife and I enjoyed going in there and bought more than a few things....

I messaged the seller and asked why they are not selling on discogs? It makes no sense. Same effort as shows.

hard to make an offer when only a percentage is listed and not easy to break down value easily. One copy that’s worth $200 in near mint could have a hard to see scratch and pops a lot making it worth only half That. Too many mysteries. Hard to trust people’s grading over the span of 2,000 records.

No way a bulk sale will fetch $15 per disc.
More like $5, as suggested above.
Sold on a table at sales, many titles will take years to shift.

Perhaps just stay home and listen?

Playing my near mint minus copy of Rickie Lee Jones - Easy Money.....

pig in a poke other than the sealed ones.. too much risk

and what's with how they are displayed laying on their spines?
