Any used record stores around NVA or DC area any more. Have many old records in my mom's estate I would like to sell. Many 78s included.

Do you have a list? We should get first crack at it.

Not yet. Will take a while. Still trying to clean out the rest of the house for an estate sale this weekend. Probably won't be offering the console and records at the sale until I can get the time to evaluate them more.

Not to sound too gloomy, but you'll be lucky if you can find someone to haul those 78's away for free. There's just no market for them anymore unless they are extremely rare. And, I'm sorry to say, pretty much the same for the LPs. Looks like a lot of Reader's Digest sets, which are nice, but maybe there's more, I can't tell. If they've been played on that console they're going to be fairly worn. Your best bet might be to hold a yard sale in better weather and advertise LPs, or invite the group here to paw through them and be generous.
