FOR SALE - Large 78 RPM Record Collection - $1000

Post by Polyphone »

UPDATE

A guy just took 20 crates away and it was all in my C PILE.

So now there are now only 20 crates or ~1800 records with some really good stuff. The records for sale here are all in my B Pile. The A Pile material will be sold starting in the fall via private sale and eBay.

FYI: With this type of volume, this is how I subjectively sort it out:

A PILE - really desirable records, mostly in exceptional condition
B PILE - good amount of desirable records in average condition and still enjoyable to listen to
C PILE - good or unpopular music yet with limited desirability and/or very poor condition

I live in Beverly Hills, Michigan just 5 miles north of Detroit. The records are accessible in my garage, easy back-in loading, no steps. If you are interested, please reach out to me via phone or email.....no PM please.

Thanks, Ken

Hi Folks,

I picked up a large 78 RPM record collection the other day. The records I wanted were <5% of the total buy but I had to take them all to get just a few records. There are approximately 40 crates of 75 records, roughly 3000. And besides that 5%, the collection has not been picked over. The collection has about every style of music from every time-period you can imagine, yet no super early stuff, i.e. pre-1910. The records are mostly in average condition and there is some great stuff.

Obviously, pick up only.......asking $2000, must take all.
