   Hello Dean,   
      
       Personally I would use Ebay, I know that it gets a lot of bad press but   
   I have found it very useful for selling collectable albums. There are   
   collectors particularly in Japan and the USA who have money to burn on the   
   right items. Describe your lp's thoroughly, actually highlighting any   
   defects like creases on the cover, scuffs and scratches on the vinyl and   
   whether they can be felt with your fingernail and whether they sound or not.   
   Pack records securely and use stiffeners, the airmail postal service is   
   brutal with parcels and packets. It tales up a lot of time, be warned, but   
   at the end of the day it is great fun and in my case the few collectable   
   lp's I have picked up and sold over the last year has paid in full and left   
   me some change for over 1000 records. A self sufficient hobby! Tom and   
   Barbara would be proud of me;o)   
      
   All the best,   
      
   Nigel.
