They'd like to part with them, and I'm giving them a hand. For those of you who buy and sell such things, what's the best way to go about this? I really don't want to sell one at a time on eBay because I can't be arsed to pack 100 LPs. I was thinking about going to a local shop that buys used vinyl, like Village Music in Mill Valley or Amoeba in SF. How do you think this will compare with going online? How do I keep myself from getting ripped off? Or maybe some kind of music fair? Antique dealer specializing in vinyl? All ideas and suggestions are much appreciated!
