"The owner said no one wants physical copies anymore and that downloads and streaming killed the business."
I live in St Paul, Minnesota, not too far from a store called The Electric Fetus in Minneapolis (They also have a store in Duluth, MN.) and I have to say that every time I go there the place is packed, especially at the ever-expanding new & used vinyl section. They've been in business since 1968 and have always stayed on top and ahead of trends. I see no signs that they're in any jeopardy, probably because the place is well managed and also has the best quality, reasonably priced used LPs I've ever seen. There are several other stores in the Twin Cities area that have migrated from almost exclusively CD sales to vinyl and also appear to be more than holding their own. One store did close recently, but they were very heavily invested in folk and blues recordings.
I would also point out that I moved here from Kansas City-not necessarily the hippest spot in the USA-several months ago and over the past couple of years at least 4 new & used vinyl shops have opened there and seem to be thriving.
I'm not going to suggest that there won't ever be a dip in vinyl sales, but clearly solid management is key, as is the case in any industry.
By the way, you didn't say where or how you sold your LPs, but if it was to any retailer, you're never going to get what you think your items are worth. And obviously, a lot depends upon what you're trying to sell, condition, etc.
