I'm sure a lot has changed for the worse at universities in the last
ten years. The operas and boxed sets I saw at UMKC a few years ago were
mostly pretty obscure things, to be sure... A few years before that, a
venerable second-hand record dealer in Norwich in England gave up the
ghost...
Try www.vinyl-renaissance.com in Kansas City. I sold about 250 LPs there
a year or so ago, and picked up a couple of things. They're nice folks.
Then of course you've got shipping costs. But my concern would be to
get the discs to a place where a fan or a collector might find something
he wants. Better that than landfill.
