Unbelievable 10,000+ rock records at a YARD SALE!

That is the best score i have seen here or everywhere.

It is kind of sad that the family had no care for what was an obvious impassioned collection. Great for the OP to make the find and one that I would love to come across some day. I have a feeling I would have walked away with a lot more than 170. I probably would have tried to get them all then sort through the lot latter.

The owner is now food for worms. I assume that the enjoyed the collection while he could, and that's all one can ask for really--his daughter and her husband are different people, with different interests and needs.

When I'm gone, I don't care what happens to my collection as long as, if they are disposed of, my kids get as much money as possible for them.

I think the right thing to do is to sell it off before you go. It's a huge burden to someone who doesn't understand it. Cash has no tangible burden really...

My wife has instructions that if something happens to me while I'm still young to either keep them for my kids someday (they are too young now for vinyl) or put them all on consignment with a shop or dealer I trust. She doesn't know the individual values but she knows better than to let them go for next to nothing. I would hope the kids would want them, money wouldn't be of a concern because of life insurance but I can understand not wanting lug a bunch of your dead husband/father's records around the rest of your life for sentimental reasons.
