    Default What to do with vinyls?

    Did a clear out of the attic yesterday, found about 20-30 vinyls, most are singles.

    I was given them by a friend many many years ago, however I think its time I part with them. Amongst them is a flexi disk from a-ha, has a couple songs on it and then them talking. Think it was a free in a magazine, however cannot find any name of a magazine on the disk, it also looks like its never been played.

    Is there any website online that would buy the bulk? There are no shops around here that I can ask advice from

    Hiya

    Not really a expert in vinys but think some are sort after,

    I done a booty the other week and had some for sale, so i went into the other site and checked out prices they where going for, was suprised at how much they were, then went to booty and sold em for a quid each, sold quite a few, think they knew what they were looking for
    Life is serious but taking it too seriously robs you of
    happiness, fun and productivity

    PM me the details and I'll look to see if there are any "of value" in the record collectors guide (it is a book)

    I'll need the following for each to make it a bit easier
    Artist name
    Record ref number
    Year released

    To be honest, I doubt these will be sought after, some have my friends name in ink on the picture sleeve.

    Might just take some photos and put them on here. The a-ha picture disk though is puzzling, checked am*zon and cannot find it there. The rest are around £3-£4 (the singles), havent checked the 12" ones yet.

    You may be surprised, as some collectors may have the sleeve, but the actual record is not very good and they will look for a replacement record that is better quality.

    I've sold a broken record on here for £3.00 and the buyer wanted it as a collection filler The mint value of the record would have been £125+

    What is the ref for the a-ha record?

    Simply check on the Other side what prices they are lselling for. If you find anything worth something Put it to one side and sell the rest Pos in one bulk lot?
    I found I had a rolling stones LP (which I got for nothing) and was going to sell at bootfair for £1 (lucky I knew a mate who knew about records) And it sold for £95

    Vinyl seems to be making a come back from people that are fed up with Digital.
    Might be worth listing a few.

    The a-ha doesnt have a reference, it only has a date (1985). Will try a get a picture up.

    It says flexi disk on it, and its square!

    i had quite a few of those freebie records- most came 'girl' or 'smash hits' magazines.
    i still have a couple here that say girl on them so i suspect that the a-ha one was probably from smash hits- i can remember having an a-ha one but cant find it to look.
