How To Sell 78 Records On Ebay

[@foodini666]

i bought a ton of these 10+ years ago that have been in storage. going to try start selling them. very helpful video. probably 5-10k of them. i had kind of planned on selling them in groups of 10 or 5. we'll see.

[@josh_graff]

Wow 5-10k is a lot!

Key, Tape 2 inches up,fold 4-5 inches,but 1st xacto the flaps off,use the flaps to score the lines,throw the flaps as extra padding,cut the box to scored line,and fold,of course.paper works better,butcher paper is ideal,as long as it's not starched or hardened

Thanks for the tip!

Nice vid! Very practical. I’ve been collecting 78s for sale and reading up on best strategies, especially shipping.

[@josh_graff]

Since I have changed to shipping them in the 12x12x12 boxes I haven’t had one broken yet.

[@patland1762]

Excellent!. I'll say it again, I learn something everytime I watch your channel. Thanks lots for the shipping info. I have about 8 boxes of these to process. I have a number of multi LP volumes or books of 78s how do you deal with those? How do you distinguish the various material used in the 78 (vinyl, shellac, etc)?

[@josh_graff]

I typically will separate the multi volume record sets, however those are typically not worth much. After you handle a few records you can quickly tell the difference in material. Vinyl is the bendy stuff shellac is the stuff that breaks if you just look at it wrong. Super fragile.

Great video and explanation i have 600 78,s that i will have to sell thankyou!

[@josh_graff]

Thanks! I hope you are able to successfully sell your 78s!

How do you decide which records to list?

[@josh_graff]

The majority of them nobody has listed. Those I will always list if I decent condition. I won’t less them if somebody else has them listed under what I’m willing to sell them at.

[@RecordKrate]

@@josh_graff I get calls each week of people wanting to get rid of their 78s. They don’t sell in my stores so I tell them I don’t accept them. Would you like me to have them contact you?

[@josh_graff]

Where are you located at?

@@RecordKrate ok gotcha. If you were close to me I would take you up on that idea, but you are all the way across the country from me.

The 12x12x12 boxes from Grainger that Lonnie's using are $0.96 a whack. $0.93 if you're buying $100 at a time.

[@josh_graff]

Yea last time I ordered them from somewhere else and they dropped shipped them from Grainger. Unfortunately I have to drive about 2 hours to the nearest grainger so pickup is not easy for me.

[@Doing_It_Wrong]

Two hours is a harsh drive. The other option is to have them shipped to you. From other folks I hear their shipping is incredibly cheap. Or possibly if there's another similar company to grainger local.

[@josh_graff]

I really should use it more, but honestly just don't like the layout of the website.
