How about searching ebay to see if any are wanted? The Keep movie
sound track on LP was going for about $2500. I almost bought that
when it originally came out. Now I wish I had.

Not exactly. This will about cover it:

Blu-ray isn't a factor.
What IS making a difference is downloadable
I think you're confusing the topic by introducing talk of serious
commercial audio formats. Most people are quite happy with .mp3's. And
right now you can store the most mp3s on a blu-ray disc. And that may
be the format that will last the longest.

Don't waste a lot of time, as most of these have probably been
released digitally years ago. I especially can't imagine why you'd
bother with tape, but even CD has been superceded by DVD, and now
Blu-ray is Sony.
Not sure I follow this. There are plenty of other players in the Blu-Ray
market, e.g., Samsung, Sharp, Panasonic, Pioneer, Harmon-Kardon, LG, and
Philips.
Blu-ray hasn't been widely adopted and is still very expensive.
Expensive, yes, but I'm not sure I agree about the

Someone my father met said he would come by and buy his LPs. I'm debating
whether to take all my LPs for him to buy as well. I suspect we won't get
paid more than a token amount. I have mostly LPs from 70's and think I've
seen some of
Anybody making an offer like that expects to get a bargain, and would only
be interested in such a deal if they believed they could make a profit
selling them on the open market. Especially if they are making the offer
after having seen your Dad's inventory.
If you have any ambition to sell them
Heh. If you've ever watched an episode of Antiques Road Show, you know
that *some* people have way too much money and will pay ridiculous
amounts of it for the most worthless junk. Including old audio
recordings.
I threw all my old LPs away years ago when it was apparent all the
tunes were
LP's are still around and are even making a comeback in a small part.
There us a difference between LP's and CD's in the way of sound quality.
Now my hearing is gone in part so I can not verify this at all.
But from what I hear the sound quality on a good album is far
superior (Brilliance,
I should think ebay would give a good idea of the market price.

True for the first play, less and less true with each successive playing.
Even with audiophile equipment and careful handling I have played some
LPs to the point of failure.
Same problem with Video tapes. Both mediums were capable of
ruination by repeating play.
A good turntable would make an album last much longer.
A tracking weight of 1 gram (If I remember correctly) or less was
usually the optimum to making the album last and the quality last.

I am curious too about this... I no longer have a turntable nor a desire
to but have a big box full of my old LPs in the basement that I am
debating what to do with...
Me too. I should walk them down the street to Orpheus. Oh my, I guess he
is not buying...
Orpheus Records as we've known it
My two cents: depends on what the LP is.
A couple of years ago I bought an LP on eBay for over $100, recorded
around 1953. Most don't sell for so much.
They are like comic books: the rare and sought after comic book fetches
a high price, most are not of much value even if they are old.
I had a similar question as Randall's and picked up a copy of Warman's
American Record that was being remaindered by Hamilton Bookseller for a
couple of dollars. That will give you a feeling for some of the prices.
(I now have several hundred LPs, 78's, and 45's that I paid almost
nothing for

Exactly.

Yes, did a little browsing on Ebay and what you say seems to be the case.
A wide range of prices, but assuming the higher ones are for rarer records.

My son does not have a CD player either in his car or his bedroom.
He bought a PS3 and uses it as a Blue Ray player, game machine and
sound machine.
Depends on what purposes you want to record the LP/Cassette music?
Archive purposes? Hard Drive, and then possibly DVD (Don't have a
