I'm not a seller, but I do have one electronica LP that has sold for as much as $272 on ebay according to popsike, and my copy is a still-sealed demo. I found a dealer online who offered me $125 for it, but I didn't think it was worth the trouble. I might take that amount if someone near to me handed me cash and took the LP in person. But I'd want more if I had to go to any trouble, do anything by mail or online, or potentially deal with an unhappy buyer.
Too bad there isn't some simple way to unload it. :-(
Ed.: BTW, this is not a backhanded attempt to offer it here. As I mentioned, I got a reasonable online offer, but decided I didn't want to go that route.

Positive feedback is most important to buyers. Record grading seems to be an elusive skill. nt - jdaniel@jps.net 11:25:09 09/18/16 (1)

Yeah, I buy records more than I sell. People are not trustworthy. nt - jupiterboy 11:29:05 09/18/16 (0)
