[goldstone]

Any of the good folks of NSC know of a good place to sell a collection of 78s? Have looked a Ebay. Any other suggestions welcome. Thank you.

Sadly when we inherited a good collection a few years ago nobody wanted them.

We eventually gave away on Brighton Freecycle to someone who collected same as a hobby.

Pretty hard to sell 78s these days, unless they are a) genuinely rare and b) sought after.
Less and less are sought after sadly, as the fans of the music on them die off and fewer people have the kit to play them.
I picked up a nice set of Bill Haley & The Comets 78s last year and had a real job finding anyone who was interested.
Take a look on Discogs.com to get an idea if you've got any collectors want.

Not sure if you're in Sussex, but these guys in Bexhill, 'possibly' could help you.

Had a quick look online and turned up this website: http://www.78records.co.uk/wanted.htm
The fella involved – Bill Clark, by the look of it – has photos of some of the artists he's interested in and I noticed Harry Champion mentioned (looks like old music hall stuff), so might be worth getting in touch with him: http://www.78records.co.uk/contact78.htm
