My mom has a LOT and I mean a LOT of records mostly country and she also has a LOT of old 78s and 45s. She has old old country up to now country records. Is here any place I can go to see how much these are worth?

It depends on what titles she has- some could be worth a small fortune, while others might only be worth ten cents.
Look up a local record store in you phonebook- most places have at least one vinyl shop still open. They should be able to give you estimates on the collection.

Record collections are like Comic Books or Cabbage Patch kids dolls, they are market driven and have no real value other than entertainment that is enjoyed by the individual.
You can check the papers, people use to actually read papers, some still do. You can look at comparative sales on auction or collector websites.
On ebay, just looked, anywhere from $.99 to $50 to $CRAZY!
Look in local phone book for Charities or Recycle places that you can donate or sell to.
Or keep them, they are fun to listen to.

Not much unles you find an avid collector. Flea markets would be a good start to dicker on price with someone who sees something they're really interested in. I have 'America Meets The Beatles' 33 RPM; opened but album is in sealed cellophane, mint condition except cover is lacking cellophane, record has never felt a needle (never been played). I have had it for sale for years and no one will pay 100$. If someone offers me that, the price immediately goes to 200$. Good luck.
