Tips For Selling Vinyl Records Online

Музыка

People have been asking me how to sell vinyl records, so I decided to make a video. If you don't want to throw a massive event like TMR Fest, there are some easier and low-pressure ways to make money off records you no longer want or need. In this video, I illustrate some ways you can do it with no fee services, as well as highlight some of the best online marketplaces.
Once you sell your records, make sure you watch my video on how to PACK records: • How To Pack And Ship V...

    My father put together an amazing collection. I'm going to sell the box of buddy holly 45s some even still have the 45 adapters stamped still in. Most jukebox only copies. Or dj prints. All in near mint condition lots with pictures sleeves all have protective sleeve over each record. Coming soon to ebay. After that a whole box of 45 SUN records. Whole box that label. Elvis the beatles jerry lee. I've kept these long enough time to see the joy in a collectors eyes. That's where they need to be.

    Thanks for the information. I knew about discogs, eBay and Facebook groups but not the first one. As a buyer and not a seller it's good to know different places I can shop. I did a video kind of like this but more on the details of what to expect when starting to sell and the different things to think about. Check it out sometime. I'd be interested what you think. Am I way off or maybe forgetting something. Cheers Mark

    Depop! I love the app and have found some pretty neat limited stuff every once in a while. With the ability to negotiate some times it can be really fun to interact and chat with people in a relatively nicer market (sometimes my interactions with people on discogs or reverb are a little less friendly). Since it's not just a record marketplace sometimes it's a little bit of a slim picking scenario but you'd be surprised what you can find for some reasonable prices. Happy hunting and, or selling!

    Soundtrack LPs and bollywood records are the key to making big profits on eBay. In my experience ebay buyers of records are mostly clueless about vinyl grading, discogs you need to be precise and accurate with your grading if you are selling. Also records that have appealing cover art and original inner/booklet/poster artwork will sell for high profit margins on eBay but can be bought cheap on discogs. Sellers on discogs undervalue the quality of original posters, booklets etc etc

    The reality is selling records is a royal PITA. Time consuming and you almost never get what YOU think they are worth. Best strategy is to take a highly curated approach to your collection and only buy the best. That $5 record you find in the store? Do you not think the owner knows what it’s worth? Except when you sell it back to him - for a buck.

    I'm in a similar (but much smaller) boat. I'm a bit intimidated, not just by the work that'll be required, but because, like yourself, it's unfamiliar territory. I would be upfront about the condition of my albums (a lot of them date back to the 70s - the vinyl is mostly good but the covers have become a little scuffed, or worse, over the decades. More recent ones are pristine) but I worry that some vinyl aesthete would be appalled by what he had received from me and demand his money back. I'm not going to go over the top with pricing, so people will get bargains. The first record I checked, a grey vinyl 12" single of Prison Sex by Tool, was going for up to £140! That got me excited. The next one - an album by Jess Roden called Keep Your Hat On - long out of print and not on Spotify - £1.69! I think once you get up and running it becomes an interesting hobby, but it's just taking those first tentative steps.
