Hi
I'm about to sell a stack of 100 vinyl records I'm not gonna use
Very mixed oldschool music style. I think it's pretty basic stuff.. not much exceptional or rare (I think)

What would be the best/easiest way to sell it?
Just one big list of titles and "buy it all for $500 or make an offer"?
That would be much easier and it would probably sell faster all in all (maybe)
Or should I look into what each album is really worth, writing down exact info about each record.. catalogue number, year, country, pressing, and list each album separately?
That would take long time and effort to do, and I could end up still having most of the records if nobody buys those
 
If you want to maximise the amount of money you make then selling individually is most likely the best way to go.

If you simply want to get rid then list them all together. But, you are less likely to maximise profit.

The issue with large bulk offerings is that a lot of people tend to already have some of the albums being offered so will not want/need duplicates.

The people most likely to buy bulk are those that will then go on to sell them individually.

You could try bulk initially and see if there is any interest and if not either lost them separately or drop the price.

Ok. I think I will gather what seems to be the best (most wanted) albums and sell those separately at a bit higher but decent price.
Then I sell the rest as a stack for a low total price
 
It all depends on how much time you want to invest in it

Join Discogs and list them all accurately. This will give you an idea of value.

Talk to you local independent record store.
 
Used records price depends on Three things only
condition , condition & condition
100 Mint records by a big artist will get you a holiday or even a car
100 Poor records by peter andre will get you bus fare

Mint (M): Perfect condition, possibly unplayed.
Near Mint (NM): Excellent condition with minimal signs of handling.
Very Good Plus (VG+): Shows light wear but plays well.
Very Good (VG): Noticeable wear but still playable.
Good (G): Significant wear, may have surface noise.
Fair (F): Heavily worn, may skip or have significant playback issues.
Poor (P): Unplayable, significant damage
