Buy-in used Vinyl Records

[docbob52]

i have a friend who has gone into the nursing home and he has about 3 thousand vinyl records in good condition for sale by his son.  All the records are in great condition as his dad was meticulous in handling them, although his record player was rather primitive Panasonic from the 70’s probably with a ceramic cartridge.  I am unsure if this would have damaged the audio or not.  Advise me on this as to degrading the records.

I have the opportunity  to buy them all.  Motivation of the seller  is to avoid the work involved on selling them on Ebay.

His music was eclectic  from classical to Rock and pop all of which I like.

Can you give me an idea of what you would offer him for the entire lot?  i have no clue.

Your advise is appreciated.

We can't really advise you on the condition of the records. You need to have a look yourself. Better yet, borrow a few that were his favorites and thus probably played a lot. Play them to see how they sound.
