Wow I missed the notification for this!!! Thanks so much it's very informative. I’m only looking to sell a handful so I think I’ll hold off till I can collect some used mailers or maybe just trying selling them to a used record store (but then I wouldn’t be getting as much $)

Another piece of advice that might not be as obvious - ALWAYS take the vinyl itself out of any covers/inner sleeves you're shipping it with, and put it in a plain white sleeve or plastic cover (if you have those). Otherwise, you'll almost certainly get seam splits from the record moving around and knocking against the cover. If you don't have a plain inner sleeve, you can make your own out of paper, and tape it up to a piece of cardboard. Your makeshift paper cover will probably be damaged a little during shipping, but the recipient can just throw it away and refile the record in the unharmed proper sleeve

Thank you!! I’ve definitely received records with the seams split so that’s good to know.

You need an adjustable tone arm.

The Audio Technica LP120 is a great starting point for turntables.

Also recommended further on to get a Spin Clean.
