I am pretty sure I have written about K-Tel records on here before. They made their money in the sixties and seventies buying music rights and producing compilation rock, pop, disco and country albums.
Well, I played a K-Tel record called “Country Harvest” tonight while putting together a compilation lot of records for sale on Facebook Marketplace. I have had a run this week, selling three boxes of records, a total of 215 records for $150.
It’s part of my push to eliminate about three hundred or so records from my current inventory so that I can clear space to buy a 1,300-record lot from someone I know.
My strategy is to mix genres of my $1 records, about 55-65 of those, picking artists who I am well-blessed with along with titles I just don’t see moving on their own. Then I add about ten of my lower-priced records that are recognizable names.
For instance, I picked a Pat Benetar album that I had marked for $3 to be the spotlight album on this lot. Benetar was a big seller for me at my sale in November, and I hope this one will entice buyers to take the entire lot.
I added other artists like Three Dog Night, Kenny Rogers, Crystal Gayle, Glen Campbell, and Dean Martin, making sure to feature them in my photos. I want people to focus on the name brand artists.
I don’t see it as a trick, as I think these lots are going to people who are interested in vinyl and will get a kick out of all the albums in the lot, even if some of them they don’t know.
