I have 1400 classic country records for sale, so I contacted the guy that puts record sales on in Brandon.  
 
I offered him all 1400 for $100 which is .14 each. He says he is interested, and asks when can he pick them up? Then proceeds for offer me $40 for them, less than .03 per record. I think seriously?! I counter offer, saying $100 is fair, but that I would take $85, or .06 each. But nope still too rich for his blood.  
 
Anyway rant over - is there any old folks homes that would be interested in taking these? I'd rather give them away to someone who will enjoy them, than someone who is greedy. I understand wanting to make a profit, but that's just plain ridiculous.

PM'd you

No kidding..talk about greedy! Donate them to Value Village or somewhere who will sell them for at least a dollar or two so if he wants any he has to pay more..

I get a kick out of people who think their albums are valuable. If you feel this guy is greedy why don't you sell them yourself right here on ebrandon. Someone will surely come along who wants a certain few albums. They will cherry pick the few that have some marketability, and value, and leave you with an even less attractive pile of albums. When I say pile think about this as well. 1400 albums works out to about 750lbs. That "record sale guy" now gets to haul them back and forth to sales etc, along with cataloguing, checking condition. Only to sell a few here and there. I think you should be glad if anyone offers you anything at all. Not just have the attitude that they are all greedy.

LOL I didn't ever state that they are valuable at all. I think .16 a record makes that clear, as does the fact that I was willing to donate them for FREE to an old folks home..  
 
I did have them listed on Ebrandon, and sold about 100, however they have been in my basement for over a year now, and I wanted them all gone in one shot.  
 
If "that record sale guy" chooses to do that for a living, am I supposed to feel sorry for him, or compensate him for doing what he has chosen to do? I'm sure a mailman doesn't complain that he has to walk when he is at work.  
 
I in no way said that they were all greedy, just this one definitely was.  
 
I am happy to say that I have successfully sold all of them for $80 to a wonderful couple that holds family barn dances. I am very happy that they will be enjoyed for many years to come, and be put to good use.
