Do you know, ever since my record collection got to the stage where it was a huge job transporting it from house to house as I moved, I've had a desire to get rid of it all, and start all over again. I secretly hoped that somebody would come and steal it so I had no choice, because I never thought I would have the nerve to just get rid.

Over the last 3 or 4 years, I've sold over 2000 records, and I've now got to the stage where I'm fed up with all the hassle of selling individual records, particularly 7" singles, which go for such little money, it's hardly worth the effort.

And here's the corny part:

I've considered charity shops, or dealers. But I know a large proportion would end up in the bin. And I'm sentimental enough to genuinely want my unwanted records to go to somebody who will appreciate them. That's why I thought of you lot!

Incidentally, I have some 12"es and LPs as well, but I'll deal with these first I think.

I'd be interested in those 12"s...

Considering the costs, particularly to America (about $14!), if people still want in, I would be ok with posting lists for people to pick from - on a first come, first served basis.

That way you won't be paying $14 for what may turn out to be 10 records you hate.

Let me know what you think.

You can't have them, Danny, you're too young!

Don't worry, I'll give the young'uns the rubbish ones. They won't know the difference.

Iain 04.12.2007 09:27 AM

Wow, I thought it would cost more than that to send 10 7"s.

Are you going to do a random thing or post a list? If you are still going for the random thing then I wouldn't mind taking quite a few off your hands if that's not too greedy.

Danny Himself 04.12.2007 09:31 AM

I saw the postage, Pookie, I just through you'd be asking more money for the records. Like, £5 each or something.

I can do random, but I'll be posting lists for people to pick from for those who prefer that way.

Yes, that's right, to you it's £5 each record.;)

Danny Himself 04.12.2007 10:17 AM

You'd be lucky. You're getting 2 pounds and a nice thank you card, and you should be thankful. Thats more than I ever got when I was a child!

Cardinal Rob 04.12.2007 10:47 AM

Am I late for the party?

If not, heh, I'd pay moneys for what you're offering. Postage only though obvs. =D

Toilet & Bowels 04.12.2007 07:29 PM

about how many 7s do you have then?

Пятхъдесят Шест 04.12.2007 08:48 PM

Am I supposed to send a PM your way Pookie?

Yes, anybody interested PM me, and say whether you want a list or just a random selection chosen by me, and if paypal is ok or if you'd prefer to send cash for postage.

pokkeherrie 04.13.2007 08:37 AM

ah, if it's not too late i'd like to take part in this as well.
i can do paypal, just have to decide if i'd be going for the list or the surprise package.

Let me know when you've decided. Just bear in mind that the list is already getting shorter as people pick from it.

sonicl 04.13.2007 08:45 AM

I'd pick from the list if I was you, Pokkeherrie, otherwise you're probably going to end up with a pile of Showaddywaddy singles.
