Depending on the titles and condition of the 45s, my husband might be interested. Or put them on ebay for a low price + shipping. My guess is they'll go quickly. There is a shop near us that specializes in collectables and he charges upwards of $10 for a 45 record in good condition. My DH collects 45 record players and has over 1,000 45s.

I've got so many from the early 50's, and some from the 40's,like the Andrew Sisters,Glenn Miller,Benny Goodman.,etc.I know my kids will toss them, but I just can't make myself do that.

Any records no matter what they are are collectibles!!! My DH collects all the differant sizes and kinds. We even have some that were homemade. I would love to know what you have and how much you would want for them.

MY aunt use to have "Bing Crosby's" White Christmas It was a blue record and when I went to her home Year around I enjoyed playing it.. :)

I, too, have some of the old 45's & 78's. When one of my GS's was about 10, he saw them in my sewing room & said, " Gee G-Ma, I have never seen CD's that big before." LOL He had no idea what they were. So I had to play them for him. He thought they were cool.

It is fun for kids, with adult supervision to lay the records on top of an oven proof bowl or glass and put into the oven and watch them become dishes or trays put oven on 250. We have used cake pans and just about anything that is oven proof for all kinds of shapes

My 19 year old college son is into vinyl's. We go to thrift stores and antique shops looking for them. I'm leaving him all my Beatle stuff (records, cards, magazines..etc) and many other records from various artists. He's the only one that is into that stuff.BUT, there are a lot of people interested in them. The sleeves are sometimes worth more than the record.

Lois-nounoe 03-03-2011 07:32 PM

I just heard that vinyl records are coming back! The stores are suppose to start carrying the record players again. What's old is new again! I wonder when the old 78s will too. I got a bunch that we played on an old wind up player. Oldest son took the player but I got a bunch of the records. Even got one that is only recorded on one side!

slk350 03-03-2011 07:37 PM

They are coming back, esp. with the younger crowd. I had to stop at a record shop in Orlando for my son on our way home from Mass a few weeks ago.Go figure !!

My daughter has my old turntable and 45 of Love Me Tender. She has never heard the end of the song though. I used it for a lullaby when she was a baby because I am tone deaf and sing awful. Still puts her out. She is 35 this year.

I still have a lot of albums and 45's but no way to play them. I have seen machines that will convert them to cd's and I am watching for a good sale on one so I will still be able to listen to all that classic music. I have a lot of Elvis too, you gotta love him.

Who was this directed to? I have 45's , some 78's most are 33 1/3's. Postage would be expensive for him.

We still have the same, from my mother's 78's to my 45's to my big wide vinyls and some great music.

TanyaLynn 03-04-2011 03:57 PM

I have sent the list of 45's to your email. Please answer and let me know that you received it.

postal packin' mama 03-04-2011 04:25 PM

My co-worker's granddaughter was amazed that Gramma had "such huge CD's" that were black instead of 'silver' like the ones granddaughter was familiar with, and those were just the 45's. Granddaughter couldn't believe any [of what she thought were CD's] could ever be any bigger than the 45's until Gramma showed her the 33's!

grammysharon 03-04-2011 10:31 PM

I still have alot of my 45's but haven't listened to them in awhile. We keep a turn table so we can listen to our old records. They sure don't sound like CD's tho :wink:

Pats8e8 03-04-2011 10:58 PM

My daughter informed me that all she wants when I'm gone is my Frank Sinatra collection. She loves him as much as I do. She says to grab those records first in case of fire! :)
