The price of classical records seems to have gone up quite a bit in recent years. I purchased 10,000 classical and jazz records for $3,000 back in ~2004. Since then I have paid anywhere from $.50 per record to $10 per record, but mostly I pay about $1. However, let me comment on your list:
"no budget labels like Turnabout, CBS Odyssey, Nonesuch, Angel, Longines, Vox, RCA Gold, Seraphin, Musical Heritage Society"
I disagree about many of these. I have some wonderful sounding recordings with excellent performances on all of these labels except Longines (that I don't believe I have ever seen).
"Some sample labels are: Over 100 Philips Digital Classics, RCA Living Stereo same, Columbia 6 Eyes and 2 Eyes over 300, also have Telarc, London blueback, Mercury Living Presence etc. and audiophile records"
Much as I like Philips, I NEVER buy digital LPs. All of the digital LPs I received with the 10,000 record collection have been put on my reject shelf. Just not worth listening to. Of course the Telarcs fall into this category as well.
I would offer somewhere between 400 and 800 for this collection, depending on how many titles I already have.
Hope this helps!
