A suitcase of 45s has dropped into my lap...

Fretless5verfan · #1 04-23-2005, 02:23 PM

So the guy i'm basically working for shows up at my house and says:

"Here, take a look at these and take what you want. Sell the rest and we'll split the cash."

He plops a suitcase down and opens it up to reveal somewhere in the 200+ range of original 45 rpm Vinyls of people like Otis Redding, Stevie Wonder, and yes, even the Beatles. Question is, what should i do with 'em? I have an aversion to E-Bay, but if it's the last resort...

Anyway, my thinking is that i'd let all of TB know before i started letting anyone else in on it. If you guys know a good place to look for fair prices on these babies let me know.

P.S. PM me if you actually want any info on them.

Would you mind sending a listing of items to abark@bellsouth.net?

I will see if I can take some of those off your hands.

You get a list, PM me a copy. Anything by the Meters, the Markeys or Funkadelic.

Is that old vinyl worth money? I got about 800 old LP's in my garage from the 70's and 80's. Mostly funk and R&b, some jazz and some rock and roll. I have most of the old Parliament and Funkadelics, EWF, AWB,etc. Some of the covers were damaged when a neighbors toilet overflowed and flooded the carpet in my apartment. But the vinyl is still good. If anyone is looking for any old skool LPs let me know I may have it and be able to make a deal. I got Cameo, bar-Kays, Pockets, Rufus, Ramsey Lewis, Michael Henderson (he played bass for Miles - bad man), Narada Michael Walden, Chic, tons of Stevie Wonder, jackson 5, Ohio Players, ConFunkshun, etc. I probably will not be able to inventory this until the summer, but let me know if you have an interest and I can forward the list to you.

Don't know if these things happen anymore, but what about record collectors conventions?

You're on a role for reviving threads i'm interested in tonight Smash

I still have them all sitting here. I'm done catalogging about 60 or so of them. Found some real jems too.

I have an amazing plan, if you ever make the list... instead of PMing people... post it here.
