Title: Gifted 700 78 rpm albums.
Post by: Creighton on October 02, 2014, 06:12:31 pm
Attached pic is half the haul. 300 or so are marked "Radio Station Use Only. Not for Sale."
Vast majority are mint, in vintage replacement green jackets. Pretty much all 30's/40's country western.
Anyone with experience on how to sell this lot care to help?
Thanks!
Creighton

Easiest way would be e-bay. Sell it as a lot, auction style. If you sell them one by one you would most likely net more but it would be a lot of work. Very nice find though.

You could break it down by artist and sell them in individual lots.

  Be very careful you are not selling early Rockabilly stuff....certain artists are worth a small fortune, especially on 78. Do some research.

Thank you all !!
This will be a go slow project. First up database of what is here. 
At least 25 individual Roy Rogers for example. Still can't believe the condition these are in.

I'd sell them individually. You can bulk buy packaging to send them out in the mail so no issues with shipping and as Tom said some are going to be much more desirable than others.

You may even get a premium for being DJ Copies.
