Old 45 Records??

[DVCLiz]

What to do with old 45 records? I'm (finally) cleaning out a closet with boxes from childhood, and I have a stack of old 45's. Think Michael Jackson's ABC, Bobby Sherman's Easy Come, Easy Go, etc. Nothing of any real value - I'm sure these were just the top AM hits when I was finally old enough to have an allowance and buy records - but before the days when I could buy an actual album. (For those of you who are younger than thirty, an "album" was something you bought and listened to on a "record player", and it had music actually recorded on a vinyl disc!!!!!)

I'd love to toss them - no sentimental attachment to the records themselves, and I'll download anything I really remember fondly. But, before I trash them, any reason to do something else??? Any market for them, or donation site, or...anything???

Old records are worth very little. If you have any sleeves that have pictures that are in good condition, those could be worth something. I have a friend who deals in old record albums and 45s. He could care less about the actual records, but the covers/sleeves can be very valuable.

Sadly, no sleeves to sell and make my fortune with - just a bunch of old records. Now that I think about it, I seem to remember having to toss a few when the cat peed on them once (I must have been 10 or 11 at the time.). I think I'll just throw them out...

I still have most of my sleeves--I have a picture sleeve for "Easy Come Easy Go". I'm another one with a boxful of vinyl in the (dry) basement.

A school or drama club might want them. Last year our school did a 50th Anniversary celebration of the school and I was looking for old 45's to use for decoration. It really did not matter if they were not from the 50's but I never could find any cheap prices on Ebay.
