You almost have to hate music to sell these so easily. I would never give up my copies of Charles Bradley or The 13th Floor Elevators. To music fans hearing these incredible and off-beat artists is what it's all about. Now if I have multiple copies of the same album I might sell the one that is the lousiest condition or give them to friends as presents. It's so hard to hear someone say they don't know who Charles Bradley or the Elevators are. I guess that's why us music nerds tend to gravitate toward each other. Also, I would gladly pay whatever your prices are for those records. Kinda Kinks in mono for $10!!!! Sign me up. Link me to your store. And hey, thanks for the tips. It's hard for us musicians and music lovers to detach our emotions from these precious items and wonderful sounds and re-sell them. We're just not business people. That's why we stay poor I guess.

Great video and information! I've been seeing so many records recently. Your video was a great help! Thanks

How do you decide whether to do auction or bin? Also, how do you decide what amount to start the auction at.. Thank you very much.

My question is how to set up a single listing with the several records I have

What is your advice for auction vs. fixed price/best offer accepted?

Great video my only issue is shipping in Canada is over 15.00 due to the size of albums has to be shipped tracked ugh.

I sell record albums on eBay and have been for 15 years. I average $75,000 a year in sales. I mostly sell those hard to get 90s vinyl releases and early Jazz albums.

This has been very informative to me in this Niche. Final Question. You said that you are fairly selective with your sourcing. I assume that means you are trying to choose titles that will sell. So my question is how many records do you think on average per month do you list? Verses sell? What would be your sell through rate over a month? or 6 months?

Hello, did you listen to all albums you bought from the garage sale? I've inherited over 200 albums, orginal release albums most are in covers and plastic but I don't have time to listen to them all to check the audio.

how do you know where to start the bid price?

Hi. I can find vinyl that is clean and good, but the covers are always in pretty bad shape. Are they still worth getting?

I would like to sell albums and other media on eBay that I can't sell on Amazon, but I honestly have no idea how to get started.

Do you clean your records before you sell on EBay?

what if i dont have cases? i have thousands of 45's i need to sell.

There's good advice here, thanks, but also a few claims I must challenge. Sorry if this comes across as too critical. Feel free to delete it. 1. You summarize Joanna Newsom, Alex Chilton, Belle & Sebastian, Bonnie Prince Bill & The 13th Floor Elevators, & some others by saying, "You probably have never heard of any of these artists. I have never heard of any of them either." I actually do know these artists & I'm not even a music expert or a music hipster. I just like music & listen to it. I also know other people who know those artists. 2. John Coltrane didn't make "blues" albums, he made jazz albums. 3. Of Nina Simone, you say, "She was the woman who always sang background vocals. She was about ten feet from being on the front of the stage and she never made it there. Simone was the opposite of a background singer. She was a lead singer-an excellent one. As lead vocalist she cut many albums and Rolling Stone named her "the 29th greatest singer of all time." And though she sang a variety of genres, sh was elected into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2019. Info about her is not hard to find. I guess I like music enough that I care about this stuff. Peace.

Just asking, so how selective are you? do you list everythng you buy? all in Auction not buy it now?
