I have stumbled upon a gospel collection in Oakland. What is the collectability of these types of records?

    Anywhere from beyond worthless to priceless. If you want to sell them let me know. I live in Berkeley.

    These guys don't know what they're talking about. No one collects gospel. ebay? It's not worth the listing fee.

    Then that's your answer... ebay will sort it out.

    However, only known titles will sell on ebay, and even then not necessarily for any major coin. You'd be better off selling to private collectors but I don't see why, with that attitude, anyone should help you in contacting them...

    Put all the white Gospel LP's on ebay first...the ones with the ladies with the big Beehive hairdos and the guys with the matching outfits and high pompadour haircuts.

    These are in the "The higher the hair, the closer to God" style of gospel music which is at it's height of popularity.

    Raers like the Blackwood Brothers and The Happy Goodman Family will bring the big cash.

    If you don't do well with those I wouldn't even dream of trying any of the black gospel LP's on ebay.....you'd be much better off calling those two guys in Bezerkely.

    In an earlier soulstrut post I created a quick price guide for gospel records.

    Your best bet is to sell them cheap to other bay area strutters.

    It's gonna be all about records recorded in nursing homes in early '07.

    Better get a head start.

    Truth. I haven't actually listened to this title but it sure as heck doesn't look like a $50 record to me. gospel terd?

    I actually think the word "AFRO" in the title clinched the deal on this one. I heard albums with afros on them sell for big bucks on Ebay.

    And B****, you didn't know that anything not on a major rock record label like Warner Brothers, Capitol, Reprise, or Elektra is now considered "private"? Didn't you get the memo? I'll have my people re-send it to your people.
