JDB_Rocks Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 A friend of mine is putting her old 70s-80s rock LPs in a yard sale this weekend. I thought maybe someone here might be interested in them. She says they're in Excellent shape, which they most likely are close to but we know one person's Exc is another's Good, and she did take good care of them with almost all still having their inner sleeves with them. There are approx 40 LPs and are mostly from the radio fare bands of the late 70s to early-80s. I don't know any specific LPs in the group and they are being sold as a complete lot to the highest offer. If interested please LMK your offer (preferably by e-mail: mosika@iupui.edu ) before 5PM ET Friday 8 June (my home copmputer is dead right now). If you'll be coming to the Pilgrimage in Indy and will be able to take them back home with you, I will hold on to them until then to save you on having them shipped (I live ~2 miles from Klipsch HQ). If nobody wants to rescue these poor helpless LPs they'll probably sit baking in the hot sun being grabbed, fondled and God knows what else by total strangers who don't even own a turntable and will just tell their kids that they used to have the same album before they bought the CD! Thanks.peace, mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSport Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 how much is she looking to get for them??? Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joessportster Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 the albums you describe really have low value except for the occasional rare find, without a list you will find them hard to sell, but i will play along and offer 1.00 each plus shipping for the lot, you say 40 albums that would be 40.00 and shipping would be about 15.00 media mail joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roc Rinaldi Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 I think $1.00 each is a fair price unless it includes the Rolling Stones "Some Girls" album with the picture of Lucy on it. In that case add $100 to the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case add $100 to the price. I have two of those LPs. Even on orange vinyl. They are not woth that much. Collectable, but not crazy expensive. I'll sell you one of mine for $50[][6] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rplace Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Lucy? CP1, I thought you would be all over this. The original cover has famous people on it and they forced them to change it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesboy Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Some Girls was released in the spring of 1978. Me and my buddies wore out a copy of it that summer and drove from Washington state to southern Cal in August to see them live at the Big A.

garymd Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 I've been buying quite a few LPs lately from a guy not far from my office. Everything he has is either Japanese, MFSL or some other audiophile type pressing. I couldn't understand why there were 2 copies of Some Girls on the shelves (until now). One of them he gave me as a bonus when I bought a Japanese pressing of "The Wall" and the other I drove up today at lunch after reading this thread and bought for $10. He thought they were worthless. A friend left him these albums when he passed away a couple years ago. Very nice collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDB_Rocks Posted June 7, 2007 Author Share Posted June 7, 2007 Joe .... I was in the process of replying to you (see below) when I called my friend to confirm your offer price (which *I* feel is fair & acceptable) . However, she said that her daughter had looked on ebay and saw records going for $10 to $35+ .... I looked thrrough *25* pages just now and only saw 2 LPs with actual bids higher than your generous offer that she *might* have in this lot. She was going to go home and make a list and call me to tell me what she has. That was 3 hours ago .... I'm still waiting for her to call. I'll keep you posted.peace, mitchMy interrupted e-mail reply:Joe, I know that these would only be a buck or two LPs but it was a last minute thing, her daughters are organizing/running the sale & really don't have the time (or maybe the desire) to make a list. I'm just trying to help a friend and give the Klipsch vinyl-heads a shot @ some well cared for albums with nice clean covers too. She did tell me today that there are about 6 covers with no LP & 1 LP with no cover. $1 each will apply only to LPs w/covers and throw in the extra covers.

joessportster Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 i know quite a few people (me included) that beleived albums were worth more than a buck or so each, i dont need any more myself but would buy a nice lot frm an individual if a deal presented itself, to be sure there are albums that are worth more than a dollar each, but not to me anymore unless they are obi japan pressings, or mfsl, 180 or 200 gram etc...i have a long history on ebay and have attempted to sell many albums there and except for the odd exception ive been lucky tio get a bid, if your friend forwards a list i will look at it and if something is worth more i will say it is and offer accordingly, however if they are not worth a dollar each i will decline to buy also Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldbuckster Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Gee, when I tried to sell my 600+ record collection no one wanted that many at once, ended up getting $350. for 600+ records, many, many of them 1or 2 play albums put on tape and never played again..............Not sorry I sold them, just surprised at the market for them now.......

garymd Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Looks like Some Girls is one of those albums (like the original Skynard "Street Survivors" with the fire on the cover) that ebay has turned into an almost worthless LP. I did a little ebay searching and if your copy has the word "Sterling" stamped into the dead wax denoting a first pressing, you might get $10 for it if it's in really nice condition. Funny how ebay has made certain items extremely valuable and others almost worthless. Now I'm almost sorry I paid $10 for 2 original copies!
