We buy Classical 33rpm Records. We also buy Jazz and Popular LPs - i.e. Beatles Jimi Hendrix etc.
We prefer classical LPs with solo violin and cello performances rather than symphonic orchestral
recordings. There are too many exceptions to list here. Should you wish to sell mint or near mint
examples of Violin LPs or any of the three labels below please get in touch by email. Please
include your location and if possible a phone number. We do not offer a free valuation service
by email or phone.
This blunt article is certainly not meant to put off perfectly genuine sellers. Unfortunately we get swamped with emails
from valuation seekers who, even when offered a fair price by email, will
simply sell their items for a fraction more to somebody in their locality or use the figures as start prices for Ebay auctions.
Many records have several variations only identifiable by spotting small
differences. Without a visual inspection of labels, vinyl and sleeves it would be foolish to
make precise offers on the basis of random lists, unless they have been carefully compiled by an experienced collector.
In case you have absolutely no idea how much you would
like to be paid for your records the least we expect is a ballpark figure. We are not interested in collections which have been cherry picked by dealers or relatives. We do not visit distant locations to view LPs unless there is a realistic option to purchase there and then. From a buyer's perspective, when sellers refuse to state even an approximate asking price, before they decide what final price they will accept, chances are that they are primarily interested in a free inspection/valuation of their items.
We appreciate the effort
many sellers make by compiling lists of their LP collections.
Unfortunately most of these lists are useless. Without viewing the
LPs, their labels and especially their condition, it is impossible
to know what is being offered. Well focused close up photos of the
STACKED
PILE OF LPs showing the printed details on the spines of your
LPs are far more useful than lists. It's important that these close
ups are taken and sent in high resolution.The file size of the JPG
in this example has been reduced to preserve limited space on our
server. For LP spines to be legible and in focus sleeves need to be piled as neatly as possible and the direction of print ined up avoiding upside down lettering.
