RECORD COLLECTION FOR SALE

[Guest JackieD]

Due to recent bereavement I am forced to start selling a record collection.  I currently have 500 northern soul (I believe) records on sale. Unfortunately I don't have a list of individual records, but general picture of records below.

I am only looking for sensible offers.  Thanks.

Jackie

H i what sort of price are you looking for as just starting out  buying , thanks david

[Guest JackieD]

Around £4,000 to £5,000 mark.  But as say open to sensible offers.

Hi Jackie

Sorry to hear about your loss, but if you realistically hope to achieve that kind of price for the records you're gonna need to list them as I can't imagine anyone on here is gonna by 500 records blind for that price without any indication of what's in the box. 

 

[Davidc]

Sounds fair for that many records , have to say way out of my deeps  lol but  hope you get it ,

[Moxey25]

not a chance 4000 pound gamble what are they. what condition are they in. you would have to go round and have a look

Jackie what area are you based.  It might help in case a dealer wants to come round to look at them . 

[Sammy Seaman]

these records were john archers collection who recently passed away a really nice guy to deal with

I just hope Jackie gets good price for them and is not ripped off by vultures,

Hi Jackie  Please be careful, as many people get mugged by te nicest people,  get yourself a price guide to get some idea of what you have, make a list of records valued £50+ and scan a few to show people on SOULSOURCE, this is a safe site so any feedback should help, you could always take them to a record fair, However find out what you got, good luck ,

Hi Jackie

Where in the country are you? Could I come and take a look?

I am not a dealer, just a collector and If O do not buy them I would happily put you in touch with an honest dealer who would help you get the best price

thanks

I've sold him just recently Lee David wd ,mickey moonshine demo plus about 8 70s boots so this is a fair price of what to expect in this collection I am still in shock about John's passing away

You could try looking on Discogs to establish what you have and the value, it has listings that include originals, legal issues/reissues and bootlegs, most listings include pictures. Although its not as comprehensive as a John Manship guide it may give you an idea to start with. As has been said the original/bootleg/repress questions will be the hardest to answer but Discogs may give you an idea of original/re-issue/value etc.

Discogs is quite easy to use once you get used to it, plus you can see what people are selling stuff for. Obviously record condition is important and can also be a bit of a minefield, but there are also guidelines on how to grade records.

Good Luck.

Or try Popsike for values as a guide. Personally I would contact Pete Smith.

Pete smith is one of the best to see about this a true gent

[Samplat]

Yes Pete would be fair but I don't think he bothers with soul source any more

[Daveoceans]

Pete Smith the best and fairest by far
