does anyone want to buy my record collection? it's pretty large (200-300 lps and a bunch of 45s) and features a lot of rare/limited press stuff. 80s New Wave, Detroit noise, hip hop, art pop, Golden age of indie, p4kcore, lots and lots of stuff. will ship from Minneapolis. I figured I'd ask here before I tried to get my brother to deal with local stores there or I had to go on eBay or discogs.

@shadowferret okay cool! I just want them to be appreciated by someone. I don't think I'll ever get them safely to Saipan

@vriska@lizards.live Sorry to hear it. That's gotta be rough letting a collection like that go.

@vriska I think you'd regret selling them tbh, you won't be in saipan forever

@vriska i sold a few hundred vinyl albums on discogs. was rather a pain in the arse having to pack and ship stuff and i eventually shut it down after everything decent sold cause sales tapered off. you can make a few bucks though. i figured a lot of it was dead weight. stuff i would never listen to again. i sorted and separated everything i wanted to keep and put the rest for sale

@shadowferret I've sold about 20-30 of them already, but for the remainder of the collection, as is, plus whatever the shipping costs are, I'd want 350 (somewhere around 200 LPs, a few dozen 45s)

@shadowferret with shipping, probably about 400. if he's in the USA I was gonna send them priority flat rate packed extremely carefully

@vriska @shadowferret remember to pack well, dont leave any extra room at all. everything must be stuffed

@vriska@lizards.live He says it's a bit too much, for him to buy the whole lot, but he'll ask about a couple of bands or genres to possibly buy piecemeal.

@shadowferret I'd do 300 for it all with shipping. It's much easier for me to sell all at once because I have to direct my brother in going through it all and sorting which is annoying.

@vriska@lizards.live He wants to know if you have any heavy metal, punk rock, experimental, classic 80's, jazz, or anything super weird.

@shadowferret I've got a lot of that stuff! a lot of the classic 80s new wave stuff I've already sold, but I've got a pretty small but solid selection of jazz, a decent amount of metal from 80s-2010s, and a lot of punk and experimental stuff.

@vriska@lizards.live ah ok. He says he won't get paid till next Thursday, so he'll wait till then to make a decision on it. So he can't really say yes or no until then.

@georgia@netzsphaere.xyz @vriska@lizards.live yeah, I think its easy to sell or lose such a collection, but it is way fucking harder to build it.

If it is because you no longer care about those bands or something like that I wouldn't say its a terrible idea, but if you still like them, oh boy.

@sarvo @vriska I think shell be able to rebuild it even better when life conditions are right but that may not be for a while

wanted to update this post and say im currently offering the remainder of the collection I haven't sold yet (~150-175 full sized and a few dozen 45s) for $200, and that includes shipping (unless you live outside of continental north america, then shipping is a little extra) my mom is selling her house and I need to get that stuff out of there so it doesn't bother her with the move
