15,000 LP's - What to do with records?


Yes, 15,000.

This was acquired from a private collector - mostly (approximately 90%) have never been spun. Each with protective covers, each stored in proper indoor temperatures and style.

Going through now making a list, but not excited about selling one, two, three at a time.

You guys know any shops that would pay properly for such a huge lot?

Have you moved these into your house or storage space yet? I can't comprehend what 15,000 LP's would look like. If you don't know what'cha have.....how can you put a price on it? You might make 10 times as much selling them off yourself, if that matters.....
When you get that list made up,let us know what you got.I'm always looking for a good deal.
I'll take a thousand NOS jazz LPs off your hands any time. Where are you located?
check out vintage records in Shreveport, LA. I know they have purchased large lots, not sure of 15,000.
I agre with Narrod - if you try to unload these as a lot you are going to come up short. Very short. But you have to weight that against the hassle of moving, cataloging, posting, selling, shipping and tracking payments for all of these.

Hell, I'll bet that there are lots of guys here on Audiogon who will give you more than .10 a record for the lot, sight unseen. If it were me I might just put up an auction and see what happens. You can always set a reserve - say $1 an LP. I guarantee that that's more than any retail store will offer you.

Where are they located, and how would you ship them as a lot?
