    i would gently wrap those records in the suggestions of the fine soulstrutters who have answered this question 1 million times already. These nuggets of knowledge can be accessed by using that pesky search function conveniently located at the bottom of the page.

    Misread... thought you meant you were bringing 2 crates of sellable hip-hop...

    I wouldn't travel with stuff to sell though unless I was traveling TO New York... you're not gonna do better out west than you would in NYC. IMO.

    Again, the market is A LOT softer in California unless you are talking about seriously rare and pricey records. If you are talking about your average $20-40 record you might as well get rid of it before you leave because you will get a better value in NYC. IMO. If you are talking $200 records then the market is a little better but still... New York will make you fork, LA ain't trying to pay...
