selling classical on e-bay...?

Lately I have found several nice Vanguard, Mercury, Epic records...I am pondering selling them on e-bay. I don't want to make tons of money. More or less I want to be paid back for all my diggin/recycle center efforts. I see lots of buy it now options for LP's from legit dealers and wonder if people would buy records in lesser condition but much greater quantities. What do audiophiles consider good condition. So far I have found the RCA mono box set LP's to have great sonics and tolerable surface noise. LP's do tick and pop...
What does an audiophile consider VG condition or VG+? Would you pay 10$ for three box sets of a specific period of recordings in very good but not dead quiet condition?
I have been loving and listening to the records but want to sell them to people who would appreciate them more than me and pay modest prices. The LP market to me seems absurdly inflated. If I had known the price of my Columbia Sidney Bechet LP I would have never paid what I did knowing it could be had on ebay. I did support the local record store but they are know mainly digital and the vinyl is too pricey...
Ouch end of rant...too much java.
