[@dealameal5242]

amazon link for sleeves please? thanks.

[@1ebaymama]

I just read this in a Facebook group for resellers on eBay, Poshmark, Mercari, Facebook Marketplace, etc.: "As a former postal worker I can tell you marking fragile makes no difference in how the package is handled (unless it is extra heavy, then it is a target). Always package your items to withstand a ten foot drop and have a 50lb box land on top of it. If you want your package to be handled as fragile you need to pay for special handling and get the special fragile sticker. If you go this route your package is not sorted by machine and is actually treated as fragile."

[@MrLee204]

The website called Discogs is a great resource for gathering info on records.

[@Renebean]

it is for sure!

[@hawkeyebricks9905]

Record collectors always acting like you need a hazmat suit to handle records. It literally sat in a milk crate in a guys basement for 40 years before it got pulled out it for yard sale. light handling for photos/shipping isn't going to do any damage that wouldn't have happened naturally over those 40 years since it was originally purchased.

[@kriscarrillo6434]

Get what you mean about how the records could be sitting in a box or crate collecting dust in a garage or wherever the previous owner kept them. But all really comes down to how the person took care of them all the years before. I would add that shipping can totally destroy a record , especially if not packaged right and labeled “fragile” do not bend . Once ordered a hard to find 45 and it was shipped in a paper thin type of cardboard and bent in half when arrived .That record was in 20 pieces.!

[@retrobootdisc]

Some Record buyers also like the records to be removed from the sleeve so if there is movement in shipping the vinyl wont bounce a tear in the spine or inner sleeve. Love your vids keep up the great work 🤟🤙

[@sparks8218]

Great info on your video! I still have most of my vinyl from the 80s. 95% of which still have the cello wrap on them. I kept real good care of them. Don't think I would sell them anytime soon.

[@joeyparker4306]

wheres the link for the boxes

[@1ebaymama]

Also, here is a different option for those (like me??) who can't find a good quality vinyl shipping box: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3zCiHitatisl6s But it's really fast (just over 2 minutes) so you might have to pause it or slow it down.

[@UnforgivN]

The problem with the Crosley is that it could potentially damage the records as per my understanding (after my LP collecting friends grinded me for days after I said I wanted to buy one...). DISCOGS is a brilliant source of information on these.

[@Renebean]

I've heard that about crosley as well which is why I don't recommend it to people who plan on playing the records more than testing purposes. I believe it has something to do with the force or the stylus that can cause issues but from my understanding it's after repeated use and long plays. Discog is another great tool to identify albums for sure

[@Renebean]

@Nicholas the stylus isn't so much the issue as the tracking force. Crosleys can be pretty high at about 5g so prolonged use will definitely hurt a record. As I say in the video I use it to test certain spots on a record bad scuffs or imperfections I'm talking 10-15 second plays. Couple that with low volume sense I don't want the vibrations higher than need be it's not much of an issue. I fully understand these can damage a record if played for an extended period of time. After this video and hearing so many comments stating immediate damage upon one use I took it upon myself to take an album and have one full playthrough then took it to one of my buddies who has a pretty nice setup. I heard no issue and neither did he. If I kept playing the record and had the volume up I'm sure the results would of been different.

[@garlandragland]

The problem with selling vinyl on Ebay is vinyl collectors are SUPER picky. As a rule I undersell and over deliver

[@Renebean]

I can agree with that to an extent but I feel most all vinyl collectors are picky no matter where you go to sell them

[@garlandragland]

@@Renebean That's true. Anywhere online is hard because they can't fully inspect them. I also feel grading is often so subjective, so I don't even do grading intentionally in my listings. I just try to give a general, but detailed condition description and undersell each time because I don't want that guy that says "you didn't tell me about the scuff mark on the sleeve 1/3rd of an an inch from the center left!" lol

[@christophersword1796]

I've been selling viynl for about 6 months now and find that if you inform in your listing grading is subjective and take good pictures you will have a good run with minimal issues, under grade them and your guranteed a happy customer

[@giovannigobbi4832]

Lol, if people sold things right everyone would be happy. Just playgrade and maybe send the guy the playback, then he won't be able to complain

[@mitch89014]

What is link to Amazon for the boxes?

[@monnx73]

Great video. I've been garage saling for the last few weeks. Picked up a PSP Go today for $2. I actually felt bad but it was her price so... Looks to be in great shape. Opened it up and it was very clean under the hood. No apparent damage to note. Just waiting on a charging cable for it. Hope it works. If not maybe I can get a few bucks for parts. Just wanted to share. Thanks again for the garage sale tips.

[@Renebean]

congrats on the find!

[@KatsAlluringTreasures]

Thank You! I just started resale and was given two huge boxes of records and don't know anything about them. This helped A LOT. Don't know about games either so I subscribed to learn more. Thank you!!!

[@Renebean]

glad it has helped and welcome to the channel!

[@mrlawilliamsukwarmachine4904]

One thing that can help is the whosampled website/app. Good things to look for: 1986-1990 rap/hip-hop Lp’s and singles. Old reggae/dub LP’s like 1970’s and 1980’s. Jazz from 1950’s & 60’s especially black musicians. Funk-rock, blues rock from 1968-1972. Dance music 1990-1992 of rave/oldskool type. Basically old black music is like gold! We don’t let go of our records, so they’re rare to come by. I have thousands of records i don’t even listen to!

[@BackwoodsNomadic-Shawn]

Awesome info! Growing up in the 70s/80s, vinyl albums is one of the things I have been considering pursuing for reselling alongside video games. Thanks for sharing your experience!!!

[@Renebean]

thanks for watching!

[@proper90s43]

Hell, I think that you are the guy I've bought records from before, classed as 'excellent' because it was played on a Crossley (!?). This is exactly what is wrong with used record sellers today.

[@ericperry2032]

Mint (almost never see these, even when you open a sealed record) Near Mint (look closely. Can't find a flaw? It's probably NM) Excellent (visually beautiful copy with 1-2 very minor issues, flawless audio) Very Good Plus (clean and scratch-free, slight wear around the center hole and/or label) Very Good (used but not abused, evidence of wear and handling; however, sound is not affected) Good Plus (scuffs, writing/tape/etc on label, surface noise that does not significantly detract from the the listening experience) Good (it plays without skipping, repeating, or being washed out by surface noise) Fair (recognizable as a record, you probably won't damage your stereo by playing it) Poor (my goodness - what happened to that thing?)

[@retrobootdisc]

Nice one dude. 🤙 matrix numbers on the vinyl run off usually relates to first pressings. The wall harvest records A-1U B-2U C.. D.. . Day at the races parlophone A 1U / B 1U are UK 1ST Presses and worth good money 🤙

[@Renebean]

For sure!

[@richfrye2167]

question about selling vinyl LPs. Just picked up about 75 classic rock albums - many of them have a “LAST” sticker on the label which I know is a record preserver. Wondering how much the sticker on the label might affect the value. Dont really want to mess with removing the stickers and actually damaging the label

[@paulgappmayer3535]

I don’t see your link for the vinyl record mailers. Could you repost the amazon link that you mention in your video. Or if you know of a better place to order these, please let me know. Thanks!

[@liverpoolvista17]

Thanks for the great advice.

[@flipt4real762]

Just FYI for anyone that tries to use the link for the LP mailers. The photo IS actually what you get. The link is for cardboard insert pads, not the actual mailers in the video.

[@Renebean]

fyi the photo is not what you get. As I state in the description you get what's in the video

[@flipt4real762]

@@Renebean It actually is, that's why I am drawing attention to it. I am saying, if anyone buys from the link that you placed in the description, they will get a bundle of 12 x 12" cardboard inserts, which is exactly what the photo shows, not the LP box mailers in the video. It is either a simple error in the link, or they sent you the wrong item and you got lucky. That's all. I did order the exact link and ignored the photo and I did get what's in the photo which is a bundle of inserts I can make myself. I wasn't knocking the video, I liked it and it was useful. The link is just incorrect.

[@Renebean]

@@flipt4real762 ahh my apologies then. I ordered from that link and got what was in the video. It's possible they sent the wrong thing. I'll pull the link down. Don't want people getting the wrong item

I do understand your feelings about the lightly scratched but listed as good or very good! I flip cars and see it everyday! Runs great! Doesn't start has to be towed! Or ran great before it was parked. Call and it needs a headgasket?????? Great video for keeping it honest and simple! Thanks again great job! I see some records on Ebay go for .99 with free shipping. Is there a way to avoid this kind of loss? Thanks

I just got done reading an eBay listing where the seller wrote: Excellent condition, some scratches. I'm like WHAT?? It's not in excellent condition if there are scratches... *shaking head*

[@gerardocasas5774]

Great vid man I always pass up vinyl because I don’t want to deal with shipping but you made it look so simple

[@garlandragland]

An alternative method to ship them that I use and have never had an issue is to buy very large bubble mailers and slide the record in between two larger pieces of cardboard for protection. I precision cut about two dozen pieces of equal sized recycled cardboard ahead of time for this purpose. By doing that it takes me less than 1 min to pack each record

what would shipping costs be on 6 vinyl LPs (media mail)?

[@Renebean]

im not sure 4-5 bucks

[@troutenjoyer]

That cheap player ruins records. Even if its just for testing it isn't doing them any good.

[@waxreliquary]

Agreed. Crosleys are bad for your records.

[@Renebean]

true but not like you think. After a handful of youtube videos proving otherwise. these players are indeed not the best for records but only if the record is played for more times than any person would. it would take lots of time for any degradation to happen. I can post links if you would like proof for yourself.

[@planEH]

How much should you be paying per record to resell and is country records a good collection to buy up ?

[@DANISHTINY]

Start using discogs, if you want to check out prices and pressings, it makes things so much easier 😊 learn about matrix and often it will show you exactly your press. For grading it is a good idea for people to read the goldmine grading scale 😊

[@Renebean]

Great tip with discogs. I don't use it as much since my pricing is based solely on eBay. Discogs is the more collector side of things and not the best for someone getting into vinyl starting out. Aside from fees which are simplified there I prefer the ease and traffic eBay offers. The grading standard that I use is pooled from a lot of vinyl sellers on the bay it's simplified.
