Pricing LPs (quick question for y'all) Hi folks; my Google-fu fails me. →[More:]I've got a few hundred LPs, mostly punk from the 80s and 90s, some of which I believe are worth a few bucks. Anyone know of an online resource where I can find out what some of them may be worth? Thanks in advance!

GEMM? Although some of the prices are quite hopeful I think. Also you have to hope that that one of the three Lemon Kittens fans out there is actually reading your ad ...

There's also Netsounds that are similar to GEMM.

Ignore my last sentence, it's meaningless, even to me. UK or US punk? Any experimental?

I understood it. :)

US and UK, some experimental stuff, several picture discs, lots of rare U2 stuff (I think it's rare anyway).

I immediately thought of GEMM as well. Also, it's hit or miss, but checking out the going rate of similar items at e-bay is not a bad thing to do if you have the time/inclination for it.

Do we get a peek at the collection somehow?

Sure, come on over anytime! :)

I ask because we're quickly approaching our wedding date, and some spare cash would be quite nice right now. First I have to decide what I can bear parting with, but if and when that happens I'll give y'all advance notice, in case you're interested.

Please do.

...I have to decide what I can bear parting with...

Good luck. I've done it in the past and regretted so many things I've sold. Keep as many borderline cases as you can.

THAT STILL WASN'T FUNNY, CARTER!

i'd advise having a good flick through them whilst thinking of all the people, places and parties you've played them for.

(don't sell your records mate. you'll miss them and they'll miss you.)

((you're not looking to rid yourself of any early 80s deathrock or vaughan oliver designed 4ad records are you?))
