Collections: Valuing, Buying and Selling

With some time on my hands at the moment, I have finally began sorting out my vinyl collection for possible sale.
I have drawn up a table with Artist/Title/Format/Condition and current prices if available using Ebay & Record Collector as price guides. I will then decide which I want to sell and how to go about it.
I have quite a few rarities and so far it's quite enjoyable going through my collection again after being housed in the loft since the 1980s.

Is buying and selling a hobby (or even a job) for you?
What would you never sell?

That's good, Susie
We'll try to keep the thread about our hobbies of collecting, not so much buying anything we need from Amazon or Ebay....that would count more as basic "shopping"

Re: Collections: Valuing, Buying and Selling

I'm not a collector, I offloaded my old LPs at a charity shop back in the 80s instead of sticking them in the attic. There were no rarities amongst them.

I've bought and sold some used camera gear in recent years ... Gumtree mostly ... functional stuff, not collectors items.

But I sometimes think it would be nice to own some 60s/70s gear just for it's beauty ... the kind of camera that today's state of the art box of tricks, with it's "retro" looks, is based on.

This was my first proper camera from 40 years ago. I wish I'd kept it. Isn't it the most beautiful thing?
