recently I received some questions of
people asking what are the best ways to
sell your records if you're looking to
either call your collection or get rid
of them all well I'm gonna narrow down
the best ways and explain what each
method means right after this well the
easiest way to sell all your records is
to spend months of your life planning a
massive event in your town and no I'm
just kidding that's definitely the
hardest way but the most fun way you can
also check out local flea markets or
record fairs sometimes you can get a
booth there and of course there's gonna
be a ton of vinyl hounds just sniffing
around for stuff great way to get rid of
some stuff in person just make sure you
don't leave it in the Sun like a lot of
flea markets do and let those records
cook not good now I'm gonna talk about
ways that you could sell with no fee
outside from the PayPal fee if you take
PayPal or with a little fee to a bigger
audience let me dive in the first no fee
option is offer up this is an awesome
app that I've used to find all kinds of
cool stuff from collectibles to records
to furniture
it's basically Craigslist for your local
area but it's more reputable because you
have a rating system there's a name
attached to it it feels more personal
feels less like you can get murdered in
an alleyway I think this is a great
place to find some things that you
wouldn't expect because a lot of people
aren't looking at the app throw some
records on there see if you can get some
buyers definitely a good way because
there's no fee another option is
Facebook groups if you google vinyl
record Facebook groups you will find a
ton if you're in a major city there's
probably a group for your city if you're
not there's also groups that are just
all about buying and selling records and
there are thousands of people in those
groups if you set up opposed to that
you're definitely gonna find people that
are interested in what you have to sell
and the final No Fee option is something
that I've referenced before on this
channel
the vinyl collective forums and the
reddit vinyl collector forum so I'll
link to those in the description
they're basically sections of the
internet that are just people buying and
selling and occasionally trading records
I've had a lot of luck putting lists on
both of those sites again you'll take a
little PayPal fee but you won't take a
cut from one of the big guys speaking of
the big guys there are three different
ways to sell records online to a big
marketplace they're all gonna take a bit
of a cut though let me start with the
smallest cut reverb LP is becoming one
of my favorite and vinyl sites to
purchase records on also you can sell
records and they take the smallest cut
of the big guys and you have a lot of
people checking the site
for some deals so I recommend throwing
some stuff on repo and seeing what
happens if you want another large record
community of course you can go to
discogs now discogs is probably the
largest community for buying and selling
records they do take a large commission
though it really starts to add up and
take away from your profit but can't
argue there's a huge hungry marketplace
ready for your records so it's
definitely a good choice as well and
finally the largest of the marketplaces
of course eBay eBay takes 10% of every
sale so they are gonna take the most but
you're probably gonna have the widest
exposure not necessarily to all music
fans though so you have to take that
into consideration as well definitely
play around and see where you have the
most success of these but I would say
give each one a try and see where you
sell the most most frequently those are
the ways I know to sell records and the
ways I've done it in the past now if you
know other ways please leave a comment
let me know what I'm missing and let
everyone else know where else they can
sell their records if they need to sell
them which is always a sad day but
usually means more records to come if
