Has anybody sold records thru eBay?

If the Zepp's are early presses then ill deffo be first in line.
infact pretty much anything british from the late 60's onwards....Stones, Zep, Yardbirds, Bowie etc.

Do specialised search and make sure the box for "show completed auctions" is ticked. Or something like that. Can't remember the exact terms.

Gives a pretty good idea of what people are willing to pay.

Okay, I'll have a look for that -- sounds useful!

@KeepItSteel: I've checked and I've only got Led Zep 4 (the other Led Zep albums I have are on cassette or CD), but it's in good nick. Anyway, I'll do some sums and report back when I've got a solid idea of prices...

Thanks for this info, dbmtb. I went to "Advanced Search" and found the "Completed Listings" box -- and it's very useful indeed. Thanks again!

Just out of interest TGR, did you run auctions or did you sell them as Buy-It-Now sales? Also, how did you package the records? By using envelopes and stiffeners or by using dedicated cardboard mailers?

I started them all off as auctions at 99p, a few went for 99p most 7" went for £2-£3 and the LPs for about the same. best was a dogs Damour 10" that went to Japan for silly money.

Dedicated cardboard mailers

Cheers for getting back to me TGR, that's very valuable information!
