is there a market for old records?

Question

i inhereted my dad's collection of old records. he cleaned them with this stuff every time he used them .only used diamond needles the whole bit. no one dared to touch his records. they start in the fourtys to the 60's classical show tunes , never beatles or what i liked when i was young.

Answer 1

Not really. Even in mint + condition, they're not worth much. I buy old records, but not to collect: to listen to. I pay $1-$5.
Anyway, if you try to sell some of them, you'll see that you won't get much money at all. If I were you, I'd keep them just because they have sentimental value. Give one or two away if you meet anyone who is into that kind of music. Sell them only if you really, really need the money.

Answer 2

There is a huge market for old records. Extremely rare records that are in demand can fetch hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars. Of course you should not expect this, but it does happen.

I do not know anything about the "classical show tunes" genre, but check out google. If you type "used records" you may be able to get an idea of what price you can expect before posting the items on eBay.

Answer 3

Hey. There is a big market for old records in great condition. Certain records are more collectable than others, but it's worth a shot with your collection. Ebay is good if you just want to dump them. Someone will buy them for a dollar. I would hit up a local music store that deals in vinyl and show them the collection. Ask questions, they will tell you what's worth it and what's not. Just be careful not to get taken. Enjoy!!
