I’m Back selling Vinyl. Nothing Beats Selling Vinyl

From the dawn of what a knew what a record was, I knew I loved music.   It wasn’t until my teens that I wanted to sell music. I ran a records shop from 1994 - 2005, then held stalls at fairs and markets which didn’t take. I then thought, that’s it no more, but it was still nagging at me mentally.

Fast forward to 2020 when the global Covid Pandemic hit, I come across an auction-style Facebook group. Like any auction, you bid on what you want as long as you win it.  I discovered this was a great group.  I found through sales that direct sales groups don’t seem to have much business from what I saw.  I only sold one vinyl this way and two vinyl records through Market Place.  I tried eBay a few times but I got stung by their fees. 

Through the Start at a £1 auction group, it surprised me with the amount of traffic it got.  Around 98% of my auctions were getting an average win of £10.  Some blew up :0


The Facebook Group

At the moment I am on a hiatus but will be back selling, well auctioning off soon.

Monthly Compilation for charity

I have been toying with the idea of selling a form of the monthly compilation. So far, there have been two compilations, March and April and already have some submission for May. Then next step is to arrange a compilation for sale, probably a 10 track version of the compilation. Due to the nature of the non profit on Music World Radio, we are unable to sell compilations, unless people donate. Therefore the compilation finances are going to charity. Now this is a big field but the one subject that is always high  on the list is Cancer. This is my first choice for person reasons, mainly relations and friends. Someone pointed out that people out on the field as in volunteers is also worthly of attention So, research charity and on the field charity on the two fields that have to mesh Why? The station has listeners from many parts of the world, not just Europe.  There are charities in the U.K who do cater for other countries, its just narrowing it down it has to be a ...
