First thing is to understand that just because a record is old doesn't mean something is valuable. The most common records I turn away are from the 50's. Common records are not "valuable" due to obvious reasons of just being abundant. Selling online has pitfalls. Listing fees, Paypal fees, and the ever frustrating relationship with the post office make online selling less ideal than selling in a store but it can turn a good profit. Discogs has started to usurp eBay in terms of the go to marketplace but I use it mostly for it's incredible database features.
