Mag, Elvis in mint = you could retire right now...or at least make some good bank.

I have some old Elvis 45's. I have 'Blue Moon' (what was that...about '55-'56?), King Creole and Are You Lonesome Tonight? Sad part is they are playable but the surface noise kills off them being bank Sad

The only problem with selling LP's: The 'scarcity' factor. I've learned that if there's some weird little difference, people will pay big bucks - such as a 'white label' / promo album. I seriously wish I had one in my collection I decided to sell and found out it was worth about 40 grand...just like that guy who sold that 'Stadium Events' on E-Bay and scored some good cash.

That 'Scary Tales' album I'm getting bids on at E-Bay cost me a dime at Salvation Army. I thought it was going to be stupid (and believe me, it is pretty cheesy) but it's already up to $4.24 and 15 people watching it. It'd be king to have a 15 person bidding war in the last hour and have a 10-cent album jacked up to $100 or so.

But seriously, if your in-laws ever decide to throw them out, you have stumbled upon quite the treasure. You could wipe your ass with 50's and smile about it.

I know that. When I was in their attic the last couple of years helping put there Christmas tree away, I've been flipping through them. They have alot of Elvis shit. No lie. I actually belive that they have that 40 grand one. The name sounds fammilar, because I kinda flip through them as fast as "casually" possible.

I swear to God man. I know they don't listen to them, but I know if I ask to take em, they'll ask why. With the way they are, they probably wouldn't like the idea untill they see the $$$$. I'm just working out how to word it so I can get my hands on them, and see what comes next.

I think I'd blow my brains out if they said they threw them away. I also know they have alot of other records in there too. It's like litterally walking into the 40's-50's-60's again.

lol same here, man. I had a co-worker who moved into a house where an old lady lived. She found some Elvis gospel LP's and donated them to Goodwill or some shit. I asked her 'What? Were they in bad shape?' 'No mint condition, I'd say. hardly a scratch'. My jaw dropped and I felt like saying 'you fucked up big time...'

But yeah, I hope you get them. I just had my wife go to her work and talk music with the receptionist - the receptionists husband is going to give me some boxes filled with 70's classic rock LP's. Like you said, if they're just collecting dust and no one is playing them, why not give them to someone who collects and loves music? He supposedly was offered over 1k for them a few years ago and he turned it down...now he's married and settled down and sees that 'this generation' appreciates music...so I should be getting them next week.

The one way you could possibly and honestly obtain their collection is just by offering to buy them. Since its family, they'll usually just let you have some or all of it - I offered my grandma $100 for around 30 old-school country LP's (I'm talking old country...like Porter Wagoner, George Jones..) and she just said that I was family and that I could just have them - "I'm not playing them" was her reason.

If you somehow do, just be sure to invest in a Sony turntable - I bought my stepson one for $35 on E-Bay (around $55 with S/H) and make sure they sound good. I had one that looked mint..and when it played, holy shit...it sounded like someone farting while choking on fruit loops - warped as fuck.

Yea...you have a point. They have been in the attic, and I know for a fact it gets quite warm up there in the summers. Aww shit man. They've been up there for who the fuck knows how long. Knowing my damn luck, they won't be worth shit because they'd be warped. I forgot how sensitive those things used to be to temps.

I'll definately work a plan though. If I can get some kind of money from it, WTF ya know? It's sorta free.

Sony turntable. Saw some on E-Bay. Gonna have to look into it.

My mother-in-law gave the blessing to take them and see what we could do with all that vynil they have. All I need to do is buy a decent camera, and get that turntable if nessiccary. I think they actually have one. We'll see. She said she was thinking about selling them but, she didn't know how to go about it. They're over 65, and not very comp knowlegable.

They also haven't been in the attic like I thought when I saw them. It was a different box. They set them up there for a few days, to make room for painting the room they have been sitting in all that time. I helped a little. Dry, cool, and in covers on edge. So for decades they just been in a large box, chilling out till whenever. Cool

Maybe within the next month, I can get the ball rolling and get some bank to help my family out. I did say that if we get a substantial amount from any sales, we'll split it 50/50.

This is literally the most overblown power metal this side of blind guardian. It's good stuff though, just...alot of it. Here's a sample.
