In many cases, those who know something but not a lot will take the RCAs and the Mercs, and leave everything else.
I once was hired by a record dealer to pick through a collection he had purchased, a classical musical library on vinyl from a minor-league college. There were many records from the 1959-64 period, but none of them were stereo Mercs or RCAs, and there weren't any mono ones either. Very suspicious!
Nevertheless, the picker must have been a fairly simple soul, because I was able to find a nuuber of good records to sell on eBay. The Telamanyi Back Violin sonatas with the Vega Bach bow, the Nelsova Beethoven Violin Sonatas on London, and the Clara Haskil Scarletti Sonatas on green-label Westminster were still there. He got nearly $1000 on eBay just for those three.
I took my fee in vinyl, some nice stuff to listen to, but not too valuable.
