Thanks rein-o... You're correct, although I'm still unclear on the "mint marks" thing. Do I
need to open those discs and send in some kind of information? The red lines aren't clear what it's referring to or asking for, nor are the red stars(?).
But, ultimately, yes, I do want to sell the lot, as well as the five Pioneer players. Which, btw, I also inherited hardware, 5 Pioneer players. If you're interested you can check out my hardware section. I'm still going through and testing them all, so far they all work, though I 'll prolly keep one working player and a personally culled selection of movies that
I like. I'm a Video Producer myself, inherited my good taste in art from my Uncle and also inherited my Uncle's passion for film, and specifically collecting good film on Laserdisc. There's some amazing works of art here, and he was passionate about his collection, not purely for the $$ value.
I do have a decent sense of what's here, in terms of value. Olympia, Alamo, Metropolis, True Lies, Devil's Advocate, Fatal Attraction, Wallace & Gromit, Speed, The Rock, The Shadow, Tremors, WaterWorld (x2), Batman Forever, Yellow Submarine (x2), etc etc. A massive Criterion Collection, many of which never made it to DVD, lot's of Beatles, Star Wars and Godfathers (I think I might even have a Godfather II misprint
Godfather, The: Part II (1974) [LV 8459-2]). An extensive, and rare, CinemaDisc Collection. 30ish "Performing Images" discs, also very rare performances. Only reason I know they're rare is that I've come across dozens and dozens of "Missing Cover Photo" entries (and I am doing my best to serve the community and submit photos when they've come up-). I've even come across four "new" submissions to the database.
I enjoyed reading the "Lot for 125k" thread... kind of gave me an introduction the LD community and what to expect when wanting to sell a lot this size. I will start to parse them out and sell them off as lots on Ebay, or here. Separate all the CinemaDiscs, the CCs, the horror, as well as the chaff, the pre-50s that you mentioned, thank you for that btw.
But with that said, if there is any
one person interested in the whole lot, minus my personal culling of course,
and you're willing to travel to Austin, please feel free to make me an offer. Julien's Uselss Stastics says: "Collection value based on all historical data: Min $10,694.96 - Average $13,129.02 - Max $16,429.57. I'm not expecting anyone to come anywhere near that figure, but I would entertain offers that aren't just pure garage sale offers either.
Y'all know better than anyone what a lot this size means in terms of transport and storage, so shipping on a lot this size would easily equal the cost, necessitating local pickup only, methinks. Also not sure if I need to "officially" become a seller here to say what I just said. I sent in a request to Julien the day I joined the Forum.

Julien, what do I do to become a seller here?
