let me know what you learn, I have a box of old vinyls my parents want me to sell.

My guess is ebay is the best place...

EBay Some of those old platters are worth a mint.

I'd stay away from Ebay for vinyl unless you really know what it is you're selling- With a lot of records, one version is completely worthless, while a nearly identical album with only a slight variance, like only mono tracks, or a slightly different label can be worth big cash. I'd track down a reputable vinyl dealer and let him/her pick through what you've got- you may only have one real gem, (or none at all), but finding that one can be entirely worth the trouble...

see, that's what bugs me. How do you find out what they are worth? I'm digging the Sgt. Peppers and Revolver. Theres about 50 or so . Muddy Waters, Lena Horn
all kinds of stuff.

Good point, but I would think it would be more likely to be ripped off by a dealer than by ebay. On ebau it seems more likely that more than one person would be aware of the true value and bid up the price. Anyone know of a local dealer that could be trusted?
