om...
Lke many over 55 yr olds I have lots of rare virtually unplayed vinyl.

What the Net need is

A Place where I can see if my ancient vinyl exists on cd
A place where I can price up my vinyl
A place where I can buy a cd of an ancient vinyl (I'm not a
collector, but a music lover)
A place where I can then place a free ad to sell that ancient vinyl.

I just want to automate my record collection and make a small profit
maybe G

(And a Caribbean holidays brochure G)

I bet you don't know any one who has Money by Barrett Strong on a 45
on a British label. You do now ! G I bet this is worth a few
quidloonees.



Hello Phil of Whittlesey (I like that - very mediaeval! :-)

Wotcha got? I could be interested if they're in good (ie playable and with
out any *damage*) condition - like 'digitise' your pick of the records onto
CD for you in exchange for the records themselves or summat. Take look at
http://www.apah69.dsl.pipex.com/keith_g/show/show.htm to give you an idea
(clue: the 01s ain't the same as the 02s.... :-)....

(I don't get into the 'value' of records - a record that's not being played
is an ugly big, black coaster in my book! - If they are truly 'valuable'
you'd better hawk them on eBay....)

Email me with a rough list of the type of thing you've got, if you want.
Otherwise, list them fully and post them on uk.rec.audio.vinyl for starters.
