Frank Summers asks:
Does anyone know a good used record appraiser/dealer in Boston area? I have Beatles vinyl in great shape. Looking to sell.

Head to In Your Ear on Comm Ave
Reed and company will give you a fair appraisal. Beatles vinyl doesn't always mean big $, just so you know...
It has always been my experience...
...that there really isn't as much money as people tend to think in vinyl albums, much as I love them. Unless, of course, you've got the famous Beatles "butcher cover" in one of it's iterations. Or the Dylan "Freewheelin" album with the four withdrawn tracks.
The Butchers aren't that rare
Maybe about $300, if the cover is in good shape. (Unless it's stereo. Those are worth more.)
The Dylan, OTOH ...
Records?
The Zak should be all over this one!
Cheap Thrills in Dedham
Guy knows is rock records and deals in a lot of collectors vinyl.
He was the manager of the Tower Records on Newbury St.
Somerville Grooves in Union Square
Unfortunately, they have taken down their website (I have no idea why). But they're still open.
They have a very active Facebook page
Check it out and subscribe because they post all kind of interesting finds on their page.
I would call Jordan Rich WBZ
