found some old records. advice please.

Guys sorry to bug and especially if this is a old worn out topic. Just had a death in the family and in the process of sorting things out I found a fairly sizable stack of records. All are fairly old (look to be 60's and prior) and as far as I can tell are in good shape. Issue is I know absolutely nothing about vinyl. Would anyone have some suggestions to help me get started in evaluation and most likely sales of old albums? For example are there online sources that I can use for determining if these are of value/interest and if so the best way of doing so? appreciate any advice. thanks guys.

Geoffkait,
No need for MoFi,
Try to find London FFSS releases with blue label first. I found recently in thrift store $.25 Mantovani Film Encores London FFSS in NM condition in original undamaged sleeve.
It's indeed hard to find MoFi records with matching sound.

Obviously, content and condition determine the value of any used records. If you have the Doors or Beatles in good shape, sealed in plastic to protect the covers, they're worth much more than 50 cents. The proof for me was the four guys sitting outside my house for an hour prior to my vinyl garage sale. Each of them bought $100-$200 worth of 60's/70's vinyl, most around $5 each. Again, get some advice from a used record store, or the internet. You might have a treasure.
