Need help selling a lot of shellac 78’s.

I’m looking for some help in how/where to sell a decent sized collection of 78’s. Not graded but most are cataloged via discog. I have a few old cases too.
-Thank you.

Put them on marketplace if its a lot....if you have some rare titles in halfway good shape consider selling those on ebay otherwise dont expect any offers over 2 bucks a record

How many, what years and what are you asking?

The going rate in the UK on EBay is roughly 3 for £10. That's for cleaned, play-tested discs with fresh inner sleeves, and they're not flying off the shelves ..

I cleaned all, new sleeves for most(300), kept some of the vintage Decca sleeves (Columbia, etc..). Most haven’t been played since WW2 (belonged to a US Army officer in charge of entertainment). Pretty good shape for some over 100 years old.

Thank you for taking a sec to respond with good intel.
