Record collecting could produce enjoyment and be profitable. I concentrated on 45 and 78 RPM records, sung by obscure black groups from 1946 thru 1962. They were called DOOWOPs. I started as a kid in the 50’s and 60’s not realizing the music would still be desirable in the 2000’s. Sold most of them on Ebay and were very profitable.

Soul is the hot market right now. Some of the real obscurities are bringing insane amounts of money.

Oh my! You mean those 10,000 records stored in my garage may be worth something? I have been dreading paying someone to haul them away, they weigh a ton. They are probably too old to be really valuable, altho some are by Caruso and might be worth a bit. They are 33 1/3 and 78’s. Also have hand crank phonographs...gad, what a mess!
