CD is dead. Long live Vinyl?

.... And if I could trouble you to put a list together, I might be interested as well. No cherry picking - I'd take the lot since you mentioned that they are all in good shape.

I'll put to together a list and email it to you. Most of the LPs are in excellent condition; a few have a minor scratch, and a few could stand for a good cleaning. About 50% are classical the rest are assorted but 30% '60s/'70s folk, folk-rock, rock, the rest are hokey stuff or one kind or another. Unfortunately no jazz at all.

That's cool. Classical music on LP tends to be the domain of the audiophile. Most classical music lovers (of the non-audiophile variety) prefer CD. Can't say I blame them, as their reasons have more to do with record noise and the 20 minute side length max that breaks up a performance than actual sound quality - not to say LP's sound better than CD's because that's an argument for another thread... and best left argued by those with an opinion. I've got examples of both media sounding better than the other.

I set up an account just to clean out some old stuff I wasn't listening to. It took off so fast and furious that I now have an actual internet business buying and selling. Over the last 120 days, I've sold about 400 CD's. I'm mostly selling CD's but I have a ton of LP's to list when I get the time. It's still just "additional income" - I still have to work!

I tell you this because if you still have the LP's and I buy them from you, I will resell them at most certainly a handsome profit. That profit could be yours!

My old boss sold LPs on eBay as a hobby. He had quite a system of buying and selling. He would constantly flog his Nitty Gritty on LPs he sold and packaged in preparation for transit.

He had over 20000 LPs in his home when i visited and he indicated he cleared over ~$500 USD per week with his hobby selling used LPs.
