- A tale from my dealing days in the 90s.
I sell records from my website: www.lpclassical.co.uk
£3.50 low shipping cost UK orders for any quantity of LPs bought. Overseas shipping is £10 any quantity over £30 order.
I was very sick last year, and may not have made it through this illness. Word got around and while I was ill I received two seperate visits from dealers to see how I was and enquire if I was selling the records. One of the cheeky sods actually said, ‘Looking at you, you’d want to be moving those records on now.’ However, it did hit home that having all these possessions is a right royal pain for those left behind and we should all prepare to save the family from that pain.
Just remember the final scene of Citizen Kane. Dont leave others with that headache.
I'm exactly the same.
I have around 3000 LPs, 6000 cds, 2000 7", 500 cassettes, 350 8 track cartridges and surround 100 reel to reels.
I'm loathed to get rid, but as I'm getting older, I feel like leaving them as a kind of policy for my family, but if I sell them now, I'll get a couple of holidays in Spain 😂😂😂
I suggest you photograph them all up and instruct your family to do an ebay auction for different lots - LPs - Cds etc. They might do that anyway. - once I have been in and picked it clean ;-)
You should make a video showing or perusing your "stock" or "personal collection", storage method, etc.
Also in the 90s a well known Salisbury dealer in classical music related to me the time he half-filled a skip with 78s only to have them re-appear on his doorstep days later accompanied by a couple of council tip employees hoping for £500....
Brilliant!
I recall visiting that Salisbury shop in the 90s.
@@LPCLASSICAL Sutton's, loved that shop, hi-fi downstairs, records upstairs.
Yes I remember now. I think it was possible to see the cathedral out of the window - but it could be a false memory.
What's all the "k515 ...... k593" - it sounds like a chemichal forumula... 🙄...
Köchel - a 19th century musicsologist who catalogued Mozart's works gave each one a number and they are known as for example Köchel 626 or K626 for short.
@@LPCLASSICAL Ahh! - Someone should come up with a kind of "classical" buzzword for each - to make them easier to associate with /
there are nicknames for some of the works like "Haffner", "Hoffmeister" "Prague". When you are a Mozart fanatic like me - you soon remember all the K numbers for the important works.
@@LPCLASSICALwhat is your favorite Mozart piano concerto? Just curious.
Very difficult to choose a favourite. K466 - but there are 8 concertos not far behind. I also think K466 is the best piano concerto in history.
Hi Stuart, re: eBay videos, what about doing a video on records with more than one bid on? It looks like, if they've got a bid there something worth looking at and estimating the value?
It might be interesting to video the last minute bidding on a high value item
Maybe he knew he was dying and decided to make a few good friends very happy ... off the books.
Possible he already shifted the cherries yes. Though would really have got rid of the whole lot to spare his wife that hassle. He also would not have left his mailing list out on his desk..
