I added new cables a year ago, and tried to balance the tonearm. I have come to the conclusion that I am better with cd's. Would this be worth putting up on e-bay, do you thik? Like, maybe 200 for the lot. No guarantees on the old, old vinyl. |

If you don't mind the trouble of packing the thing, I think it would be easy to unload a Dual TT on ebay. As far as the value of the records, it all depends on the titles and condition. If you post this information here or send me a PM, I can you give you an assessment of their value. If it's a collection of Olivia Newton-John and Barbra Streisand albums, go straight to Goodwill. |

I know you didn't ask but I would be concerned about packing the turntable to avoid damage during transit. Perhaps you have experience to ensure the turntable arrives undamaged. |

Gold Member Username: NuckParkhill, Ontario Canada Post Number: 1749 Registered: Dec-04 | I've never sold anything on the net before, seemed like a hassle, but maybe. My sister in law wanted the stuff at first, but after a month, decided no. I will break down the tt a bit to ship and stay down every moving part. Thanks, 2c, I will gather a list of titles and condition. |

Gold Member Username: NuckParkhill, Ontario Canada Post Number: 1750 Registered: Dec-04 | http://greatwhitena.blogspot.com/ I put the list on my blog to save space and make viewable to all, 2c. The table is Dual 515 belt w/pitch control. P-mount stylus is new, but I do not even know the name, just a logo on it. New cables and ends. This is not an ad! Just looking for opinions. |

Gold Member Username: NuckParkhill, Ontario Canada Post Number: 1834 Registered: Dec-04 | Perhaps you missed the jist of my old library, Jan. Or perhaps you were prodding me otherwards. Gordon Lightfoot is good, after a smoke.grin I can see Jan air drumming to 'headin out to the highway', vintage Priest. |

Silver Member Username: Two_centsPost Number: 742 Registered: Feb-04 | Nuck, I see you were into classic rock. The easiest way to unload your LPs is to take them to a used record dealer. I'm not sure what the market is like in your nuck of the woods, but in the SF Bay Area they pay about a buck an LP for common titles. In addition to ebay, you could try selling them on Audiogon. It's free to list an ad or an auction for music. So there's nothing to lose. The problem is shipping is going to cost a lot. Also some buyers might not buy from a seller with a feedback score of zero. If you list an ad make sure you use the Goldmine record grading system, which is kind of like grade inflation: Near Mint (NM) = Almost perfect Very Good+ (VG+) ususlly means good condition showing some signs of wear Very Good (VG) really means average Good (G) usually means poor but playable Good luck with whatever you decide. You could make some middle-aged kid happy. |

Gold Member Username: NuckParkhill, Ontario Canada Post Number: 1844 Registered: Dec-04 | Thanks 2c. I would really rather give them to someone who would appreciate them, along with the tt. I posted the lot here as a freebie before, but had to reneg on the offer, due to other considerations. I will find it all a good home. |

Gold Member Username: ArtkAlbany, Oregon USA Post Number: 2881 Registered: Feb-05 | Hey Nuck, Don't get rid of the Cheap Trick album without talking to me. If it's their first one and in good (really good) condition I am interested. |

Gold Member Username: NuckParkhill, Ontario Canada Post Number: 1851 Registered: Dec-04 | I'll send it Art, gratis. Anything else? Heck pick and choose, folks, I really don't care, but postage help would be appreciated. |
