    A friend took his vinyl collection to a dealer and sold them all as a job lot, got about £2 per album, he couldn't be bothered to sell them individually.

    This dealer is a genuine guy with a shop in our town, he sells them for £15 to £20.

      Our more expensive ones were sold on Amazon but the medium priced ones went to a dealer.

      Even some charity shops are selling LP's for £3-£10. Saw those prices in a charity shop in Keswick.

        I also store my loads of photos on my laptop and an external backup drive.

        Several years ago I started ordering albums on line from Photobox. They send you a real photo album with your photos in it and the headings and brief descriptions that you type in when arranging the photos on the laptop screen. I have lots of photos of plants and gardens on my phone and laptop but my albums have far less of those and more of my family and holidays we've been on.

          My son bought us a photo frame last year, it's like a tablet sitting on a shelf. We and the rest of our family can share photos and small video clips to it. Its running all the time. They pop up unexpectedly when say a grandchild has been in a nativity or parents gone on holiday. It saves printing out.
