Tell her to have a look on 'discogs',they sell loads of vinyl and the prices are transparent for what they're selling for based on condition etc.

You beat me to it. A bloke who owns a record shop near me also sells on discogs.com. Vinyl is popular again and old collections are bringing good prices. Best to shop around of course.

There's a shop on Beverley Road, nr the Haworth as well. I think they only open Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday but don't quote me on that. Selling LPs is an art form as some LPs which sold millions are worth a lot of money if they were mastered and pressed by the "right" people. An example being Led Zeppelin II and early pressings of Beatles records. All the information is contained on the run out groove (dead wax). Here's a guide to what those marks mean:

A Guide To Deciphering Dead Wax - Vinyl Me, Please (vinylmeplease.com)

Discogs should be able to say whether a particular pressing of the copy is worth any money. I've never bothered but there's a whole community on Youtube discussing dead wax and record collecting. I just play my vinyl every now and again. The kids can argue about what to do with it when I'm scattered to the winds.

I hope she gets a decent price for them.

Flicking through the channels saw the highlights of the Solheim Cup. Maybe the women can’t compete with the men for drives off the tee but some second shots and the putting were phenomenal.
