I actually traded some vinyl with a dealer today, first time I’ve ever done that. I traded a load of stuff from the gifted haul from a couple of months ago. Dire Straits, The Police, Simply Red, Paul McCartney, Wings a Music For Pleasure Beatles album, Level 42, just a bunch of albums I'd never play. He offered me £60 for them as a trade, so I just took 3 albums and a 12” to that value in exchange. Good deal from my POV, cost me nowt. I even watched him sell at least 3 of them before I left the shop
£60 was way more than I was expecting tbh given the reputations dealers have. I got a Mogwai soundtrack double album, a Cabaret Voltaire 12” (on Factory), A Mick Harvey album of re-interpretations of Serge Gainsbourg tunes and a brand new repress of a Cluster album.
When you’ve invested absolutely nothing in what your selling, can’t be a bad deal.
