I had a similar question as Randall's and picked up a copy of "Warman's
American Record" that was being remaindered by Hamilton Bookseller for a
couple of dollars. That will give you a feeling for some of the prices.
(I now have several hundred LPs, 78's, and 45's that I paid almost
nothing for and am recording them to tape and CD, but is going very
slowly. Fortunately, I am retired, so I have time these days.)

My two cents: depends on what the LP is.
A couple of years ago I bought an LP on eBay for over $100, recorded
around 1953. Most don't sell for so much.
They are like comic books: the rare and sought after comic book fetches
a high price, most are not of much value even if they are old.

A bit off-topic but have sense some here might know....
Someone my father met said he would come by and buy his LPs. I'm
debating
whether to take all my LPs for him to buy as well. I suspect we won't
get
paid more than a token amount. I have mostly LPs from 70's and think
I've
seen some of them on sale in record stores for $20-$30. Question is,
would
it be worth it to try to sell the records individually, or as a
collection
through some other means than this guy? I have maybe 35 records. Mix of
rock, classic, a few musicals. Just thought I'd see what feedback I'd
get.
Thanks
