I've have four boxes of Classical vinyl, and some of it are box sets. I would say there are at least 70records or so.
What is the best way to sell these?
I have looked for some of them on eBay to get an idea of prices, I've only looked up five, some go for £10 or so and some for £15-20
is it best to sell these as one job lot, or will they sell well if I label and sell them all individually? Thanks

I'd say all in one go. You could sell them individually, but you'll end up with a few stragglers which you'll end up giving away. Work out what it all roughly costs, add a bit to cover any possible shipping, add a bit for your time. Most people will try and talk you down a bit anyway.
If you don't mind spending the time to properly price them up and get exactly what each are worth, then sell them individually. If you've got some that won't fetch 50p, just give them to the ones who buy one of the more expensive records, or a bunch of them.

Try to photograph the ends of each box to capture the titles. It'll save a lot of listing work. I agree, sell it as a job lot.

First thing I would do is to write a list of all of them with catalogue number and grading. Send the list to a couple of specialist sellers like those here - theaudiostandard.net/thread/227/where-buy-classical-vinylIn terms of value I always do a quick ebay search by catalogue number. The most important thing is to look for any early rarities. Generally speaking the most valuable for UK releases are early HMV such as the 'cream' label and also early Deccas. You need to distinguish between the most valuable which are the 'wideband' Deccas, and the later 'narrowband' releases which can still sell for good money. There's plenty of info if you google to show you how to distinguish between these - it can be somewhat confusing at first. Deutsche Grammophon can be valuable if very early releases. If you have any doubt as to identifying a recording please feel free to pm me label pics and I should be able help. If you do have any of the really valuable ones and they are in good condition (EX-NM) I would personally sell these individually. All the others could go as a job lot to a dealer - definitely try at least two for the best price. If in any doubt about condition and it's a relatively valuable record it is worth the effort to play test - most classical collectors are pretty fussy about condition. I've always wet cleaned individual records before selling. Once you've got a list I would certainly be interested to see it in case there's anything I'm looking for ...  |

Might be worth setting up a Discogs profile and log them, so at least any listings you make, you'll be able to link to, which will have all details anyone would need to be aware of, including condition of the media and sleeves, and precise details of the release.
