Xecuter Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 (edited) SOLD Extensive classical music collection for sale. Removed from sale because i was tempted to keep, back on sale because space and interest in JBL 4367 Do not PM me requesting single records Item: About 1700 records give or take from a classical musical historians private collection (Estate sale). Majority is UK/German/Holland pressed from every major and minor composer imaginable Many box sets and soloists. See here for discogs sample: https://www.discogs.com/user/tohellandback/collection 500 records in this sample Almost every record is either in Near Mint condition or Very Good + condition on visual inspection - The vast majority of this collection appears to be virgin, of the records sampled only 1/2% show ANY signs of use. A good quality brush is recommended as there is some light dust on the majority of the records with open sleeves. Most of the artwork and boxes is in Very good condition. Some is only in good condition however 30-50 year old cardboard tends to wear. The vast majority have been cared for meticulously well.Location: QLD - inspection welcomePrice: Looking for $3700 delivered within QLD. Delivery to NSW and VIC is possible at buyers expense Rough estimate of value of this collection is around 20k AUD according to a small sample of 500 records ,Item Condition: Mostly Mint/Very good+Reason for selling: I simply do not have the room to deal with such a collection. Warning 65 boxes. The collector seems to have loosely sorted it by composers.Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, bank transfer Trades: High efficiency speakers, high end dacs, (obviously I will top up with cash) EDIT added photos and sample of records Edited November 19, 2017 by Xecuter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinnergeoff Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 If I was setting up a record shop again (been there, done that!) I'd grab these. Some real gems there, and a lot of good ones for the serious classical vinyl collector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdo1 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 More orchestral works than solos, sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotur Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 So what happened to the other 300 or so given the initial listing was for 2000+ LPs? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xecuter Posted November 22, 2017 Author Share Posted November 22, 2017 I was hoping someone would ask! I changed the number as the 2000 was a rough estimate. I think the figure is closer to 1700 titles give or take 100 after sorting through about 1/4 of the collection There is A LOT of box sets with up to 20 records in each box. If you read back through that thread, I did edit the number before taking it down. I can only promise that I have not sold off or cherry picked anything from this collection. I have no interest in vinyl, especially with trying to deal with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
