FS: HUGE lot of Jazz, Big Band, Orchestra LPs 900+!

scumpadre · August 8, 2015

I have a HUGE lot of 900 - 1000 vinyl records that span genres like Jazz, Dixieland, Big Band, Vocal, among others. This lot consists of many known (and maybe not so popular) jazz musicians and singers and their orchestras. Also included are countless jazz compilations, dixieland compilations, as well as compilations for 20s, 30s, 40s music and beyond. Many gatefold double LPs, as well as a box set. Also included are a lot of heavier 78's (10" & 12 "). A stack of them are loose, but most of them are stored in record album storage books. I bought this from a Jazz collector from Schaumberg, IL 5 years ago as a means to expand my tastes (I normally listen to other genres), but after all this time, I've managed to listen to only 25% of them, and no longer have the time to invest in listening to the rest. This isn't a cherry picked lot. It's everything I bought from the original owner, plus an extra stack I added to the lot.

If your intention is to resell, even if sold at $.50 a piece, you'll still make a good profit. I've seen sellers sell lots half (or less) this size, give or take, for more than I'm asking! You might find some gems that are worth more than a few bucks, so hey, it's your gain. Condition wise, these are in excellent condition, not the crummy condition you'd find in thrift/resale shops, yard sales, or even many record stores.

I'm looking to sell these a.s.a.p. to help a friend in need. I'm asking $125.

** Due to the volume of records, I can't ship them (These boxes are heavy!) so this is ONLY for pickup for anyone located in the Chicagoland area, or anyone willing to make the trip to pick them up. I'm located in East Chicago, IN, 15 mins from the IL/Chicago state line.

Below is a large list of names included in this lot, and this isn't even all of them! *see links below for photos. If you need more photos, message me and I'll gladly provide them. Thanks for taking the time to look!
