Hi. I'm trying to think of another description to put here. Any ideas? I'll try again at 420.

My most prized possession


My entire Beatle collection, all unopened British issued vinyl albums, all 13 of them plus the 3 anthologies...I need the cash quickly so I'm going to part with these. How sad is that?

Very sad indeed. I hope you have a plan to maximize the money you can get, as they are quite valuable.

Nope...this is an emergency. But, I've had a few of them before. Unfortunately, you and I know they're worth a LOT of money but technically, they're only worth what someone will pay.

I'd recommend e-bay, if you have 1-2 weeks to get your cash. Otherwise, do you live near Atlanta? Or maybe Athens? Both of those cities would have a good used record store that would give you a fair price for them. I'd give you prices, but my price information is probably 10 years old by now (without researching them on e-bay). There is also at least one vintage vinyl website that trades records like these. Good luck, from one vinyl nut to, apparently, another ;-)

Oh yeah, I even have a bunch of used Beatle albums. Jeez, I have Eat A Peach...so many cool ones. I'm in Marietta...do you have ANY idea what I should be looking at? Even 10 year old prices are better than my guess. I know what I paid for it years ago and that's about it. I won't hold you to anything you might guess, I just don't know where to start.

There's a store near me, Princeton Record Exchange, that buys records and has a good reputation. They have forms on their website that will result in them giving you a quote. But skimming around e-bay, I found the Meet the Beatles unopened Mono went for $42, an opened Second Album went for $16.99, but packs of 10 opened albums regularly go for between $10 and $20. There are also books printed with Beatles Record & Memorabilia price lists. Maybe the Marietta library has a copy of something similar.
