Question
I'm looking for a means to sell unopened Beatles albums.  I have Sgt Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band and Abbey Road.  Still wrapped in plastic brand new condition.  I'm trying to sell them as part of my uncle's estate but don't want to sell them on eBay if they are worth something.  1) any hint on their value? 2) any thought on where I can sell them?

Thanks,

Christina

Answer
eBay is actually a great place to sell them and ensure you get what they are worth.  Collectors scour eBay ensuring a broad market of demand.  Try a search on eBay for completed listings to get a general idea of what someone else might have sold something similar for, how many bids it got etc.
Otherwise, you could try Beatlefest conventions but then you'd need to buy a table etc and it wouldn't be worth the cost for 2 albums.
Depending on what year, country, print etc the albums are, the value could be anywhere from $10-$200.
Best of luck!
