They belonged to my parents. I have saved, for sentimental value, some that I remember my mom playing and singing along. Is there anyplace that would want them? Any ideas?

Put an ad up on Craigslist. You’ll get a ton of responses from 78 lovers.

Some people collect 78 rpms. Try putting them up for auction on eBay.

Put them up for sale on ebay. Probably won’t get much unless they are rare and desirable for some reason, but you might get a few bucks.

78 rpm records are back in vogue. You can sell them easily

Audiophiles love them. There should be a vintage music store around if you live in a large enough city. They should buy and sell vinyl records.

Transfer to CDs. I gave mine to my son-in-law for that purpose and I have never heard about them since. LOL. Same with the 45s.

Donate them to places like the Salvation Army and other charity based second-hand stores (skipping Good Will, whose top guy earns over 300K!)

People like myself go to those places and look for LPs in good condition.

I love much of the music on them and still have players that are in wonderful condition an play my LPs regularly!

Also, you might advertise them as I understand that there is a lot of interest in old records. You just might make some real money from them.

Get one of your relatives that is active on Ebay look through them and embark on a sales campaign for them.

I’d expect you might find they are worth more than you think.

Digitize them then freeze them for prosperity.

Liquid N2 is preferred but CO2 will work.

I took a lot of my old ones that had their original covers, put them in a picture frames and have them on one wall in my hallway. CW ones are framed and hanging in my grandson’s bedroom, along with a pic of an old cowboy and John Wayne. Suggest you DO NOT throw them away.

Do some computer research to see if there’s anyone within driving distance who deals in old records. You might want to do some research first to get an idea if any of them are highly desired collectibles.

I see that some people are giving some stupid responses and advice. Here are the facts: 78 rpm records are valuable as they are. They ARE NOT obsolete.
