Title: Random Vinyl Records for 1 BTC a pop
Post by: moocow1452 on November 05, 2011, 01:02:44 AM
Hey, testing the waters on marking stuff with Bitcoin. Wanted to set up my own website, but this is easier.  Got a bunch of my grandparents 33 LPs from the '40's to the 80's that aren't all major market fetchers, but still kinda cool. If I sent you a random one for 1 BTC a piece + another to ship them, would any of you guys be interested?

78's? 33 1/3's? 45's?

33s LPs, sorry I didn't make that clear.

What kind of music is on the LPs?

Whatever is in the front of the goodwill bin?

I would be more curious how the poster plans to ship them. Typical shippers use this box (https://shop.usps.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10052&catalogId=10001&productId=10000247&WT.ac=P_O-1095), and pack similarly to these instructions (http://reviews.ebay.com/shipping-lp-records-packaging-tips_W0QQugidZ10000000000209124). Sending 15 oz priority mail is more than 2 BTC.

Mostly musicals, some italian stuff, and soundtracks to westerns, though there is some '60's rock in there. Obviously I'm breaking the gems off for indivdual selling, but there's only so much you can keep around. As for eating the cost, I was kinda counting on people going for multiple discs on the same order, getting premade mailers over packages and skimping on speed. Might want to set up some sort of bundle deal over individuals and do more research on what can ship where for how much, but I think it's sound, if not super lucrative.

Could you check if there is any hardstyle/hardcore/terror/rave between those LPs? If so Id probably buy all of them.
