Following on from the vinyl records thread the other day; Does anyone know of a decent vinyl shop i can sell my records, hopefully as a job lot?

I’ve got about 50 12″ singles and EPs, mainly early 90’s Detroit and UK techno, with a smattering of D&B, and Breakbeat stuff. Anyone know of a specialist shop? There’s a few classics in there!

Ta,

John.

There’s a shop on Farnham High Street that I asked in recently. They only really want decent quality though so that rules mine out!

You’re never gonna get much from a shop. If you can be arsed with it, list them all on Discogs.com. Really easy and painless and you can see what your record has sold for previously.

And then send me a link so I can have a look 🙂 I collect records.

Oooh, um – I heard about this – what do you think? Might work?

hmm, i’m more inclined to flog them as a job lot- i cant see myself having a lot of time to list them all! they are all in ‘reasonable’condition, but they have all been played, as records should!

I would try gumtree

try here.

Sadly, Beanos in Croydon closed down a few years back but I think the other shop up the road is still there. Memory Lane Records (I think).

Hard to find records in Birmingham http://www.htfr.com have buying prices on their site but as has been said you’ll get more from discogs. Dance etc is a limited market and most dealers won’t touch them.

I’m selling all mine at the mo on discogs. Its fairly painless.
Heres a link incase anyones interested!!

The shop in West Street in Farnham did me a good deal. Gave me about £50 for the ones that were any good and I gave the restock the records to charity. He seemed pretty decent to me, and really knew his stuff. 101 Records, I think it is.

Discogs is easy but will take forever. People (like me) want the good/rare stuff in top condition. The top 5% will sell in a few weeks/months. The rest you’ll still be looking at in 12 months. Most stores deal mainly with classic rock etc as there’s a bigger market and higher priced items to sell. Your average 2nd hand store lacks the knowledge for the styles you mention ime.

Sorry to jump on OP’s thread, i started the original vinyl thread he references, would any of the record collectors amongst you like a list of the vinyl i have to sell? A lot of Bowie, Clash etc plus a lot of funk/ soul, Parliament etc.
