embracefinancial Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Hi - I'm sorting out a load of old records and I'm probably going to have several hundred old 12" singles to dispose of. These will all be pretty rubbish - mainly dance promo singles from 2000-2003ish. There's no gems (yet) that I would sell individually, or that a collector would jump on in a charity shop / car boot sale.I don't think that a charity shop would really welcome 200+ bad records that nobody has ever heard of. I need the space so I don't have time to ebay them all gradually, or make them into ash trays and quirky bowls. I'm reluctant to landfill them, but I think that may be the only option. If so, should I recycle all of the sleeves, or is there a chance that someone will still make use of them if I leave them in their sleeves at the Recycling Centre?I might put them in the road when we get a dry weekend to see if there's any takers, but then it's off to the Recycling Centre.I'd welcome any suggestions / experience from people who have been in this situation. Thanks. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/270548-old-vinyl-12s/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerkalo Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 I've heard good things about these guys. Might be worth contacting them about buying your whole collection.https://www.londonrecordbuyer.com/ Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/270548-old-vinyl-12s/#findComment-1470371 Share on other sites More sharing options...
embracefinancial Posted November 23, 2020 Author Share Posted November 23, 2020 Thanks - I noticed them when I was googling at the weekend, so it's good to get a second opinion.

Spartacus Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Alternative is to list them on discogs as someone may well be searching for the records you have Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/270548-old-vinyl-12s/#findComment-1470667 Share on other sites More sharing options...

embracefinancial Posted November 24, 2020 Author Share Posted November 24, 2020 Thanks for the feedback. I'm using discogs to catalogue them and will probably upload the list on here when it's finished. If a charity store doesn't want them (not looking promising at the moment) I'll give the forum first dibs before heading to Old Kent Road.
