Woman on CL was trying to unload @ $225, got her to $150, would you grab it?

Peep the ad:
I'm moving on the 31st and I have a huge lot of vintage vinyl records. Most of these records are from the 40s-70s. There is a wide assortment, with some comedy records, box set operas, classical, spoken word, classic rock, broadway and showtunes, and lounge type music/crooners.

The majority of the collection is in fabulous condition, especially considering the age of the albums. Most are 12 inch LPs, but there is a whole box of 10 inch LPs. A lot of these are highly collectible. I was pricing them on ebay and some are not even represented, and those that are were fetching nice prices when sold individually.

I'm looking for a buyer who has the time to either appreciate this collection or has the time to sell it themselves for a tidy profit. This is a totally eclectic mix of stuff. There are spoken word albums by politicians, radio and tv personalities, and stand up comedians, a wide array of musicals, instrumentals, a little jazz, and on and on.

The 45s are a mix of popular music from different eras and then a bunch of childrens records. Some of the childrens records are storybooks and 45s from disney which are a classic collector's item.

If I had time I would put most of this stuff up on ebay or comb the antique and consignment shops to sell this, but I just honestly want them off my hands. These boxes are HEAVY!



I'm not sure I even have space for that many records, but shi+ this could be gold...

500 records of varying sizes and styles for $150?


I'll buy that for a (150) dollar(s) :lol:

Sift through it take out what you want/need/like, then sell the remainder on.

Yeah I guess you're probably right, I was just looking for a kick in the a$$. The word 'crooner' makes me cringe...

I'm skeptical now she seems like shes trying to dump the 'bad' records, she said earlier in the year she and her husband bought 8 boxes of vinyl, I'm wondering if they've cherry picked the collection.... I'm going to get it anyways and I'll post back what I got.

i just pick up a lot last weekend for 150 1000 records and all Gemms
dont believe me come by my shop this weekend 25% off stock

read the AD, unless your looking for the stuff you can get at the thrift shops then thats a score but you'll have so much trouble to get rid of it ,
i give all that shi+ away and just donate it .
i got a box of 40's jazz and marching bands that i'll sell you for 150 and i'll pay half of shipping......... ALL NM- TOo.

aahH dont mind me ,it's just somthing you have to live and learn .

ede you got my number man: r-o-o-k-i-e, but I got to start somewhere.

I'm not sure if your saying you think a lot of the ad calls for marching band music, cause that's not what I'm seeing... :?

I want the lot for the 'little jazz', 'spoken word', & 'classic rock' she is representing.

If it's herb alpert, opera box sets and thrift store Christmas music I'll probably say no deal.

i get calls EVERY DAY ,i'm serious EVERY DAY someone calls me and wants to sell me a LOT of records and thats what they tell that they got 40's 70's dont forget in the 70's they were still selling standards music.

all i'm saying is check it out first and dont buy to just get some common records that you can pay 25 cent at the thrift store . not worth it.
your payin to much per record i usually pay around 5 cents per record in a LOT.

i know you got to learn somehow...i would really try to bring the price down, and be specific about what your gettin ,cause the mmore your collection builds the more you will not want to carry them around when you move.

Yeah I wasn't saying they were bad, but that they're just extremely common, so me shelling out $$$ for some generic records doesn't make much sense.
