Vinyl collection
Seriously thinking about selling my entire vinyl collection of 200-300 items (maybe more) including multiple foreign issues, demos. boots etc.
Not sure I can face ebaying it - anyone have experience of EIL.com, who have been recommended to me?

All I can say from dealing with eil is they offer way below a decent price.

Re: Vinyl collection
Have sold some stuff on eBay and for a tidy profit would recommend eBay . In my case I just used a bit of savvy and didn't undersell anything

I'm keeping my collection in the family.
Hope it makes an appearance on a (hopefully) distant edition of Antiques Roadshow. Some old gent in a blazer and Panama hat nodding approvingly over the 3D cover of The Raven and explaining the relevance of Celia and The Mutations.

That would be very interesting, anyone explaining the relevance of Celia & The Mutations

Re: Vinyl collection
Thanks for the replies. Perhaps I may make a list to offer here if I can find the time. I was probably always going to pull out a few things for ebay like FREE4, FREE8, some of the tastier foreign pic sleeves, the original Peaches 7" sleeve and so on, so who knows...

Re: Vinyl collection
Thanks for the tip. Would it be reasonable to assume that an original Peaches 'Blackmail' sleeve (not the RSD reissue) would be better at auction?jetblacksdad wrote:Sell it via DISCOGS.com
