Where’s the Led Zeppelin? Where’s the Pink Floyd? Rolling Stones, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Seger, Clapton, John Lee Hooker, etc.?

I hope you can appreciate that I’m trying to help, but the kinds of vinyl recordings that you are selling are NOT what is in demand to the majority of the rush of new-to-vinyl enthusiasts. I also sell vinyl records (but only through a brick and mortar store). My customers are mostly 18-25 years old or they are 45-60 years old and they want the classic rock and supergroups of the late 60s, the 70’s and the 80s. They are not looking for what I call “Guy Lombardo” music. I have sold over 1,000 vinyl recordings of the music that is in demand, and while I have over 500 recordings similar to what you have for sale, I have not sold a single LP of that type in almost two years. And, I have them priced from $1 to $5.

Of course, there will be that occasional buyer looking for that ONE LP that they used to own (and want again) or they need to fill out a collection but IMO, it will be tough selling with what you have for sale.

I have over 100 listed and I haven’t sold any. I am leaving them there so someday they may sell

I sell the occasional LP record on Bonanza, but I have much better success selling vinyl on eBay…

It’s like sheet music and I have lots. Most of those who would buy it are dead or saving for their funeral. ;)
