If your records are in normal, well-played but very good condition they don't bring more than a few bucks each (if that.) If they are immaculate with like-new covers it can often be a different story for albums seen as ground-breaking or important for any number of reasons (cover art, 1st album, etc.) There are also arcane issues like an original release vs. a popular album released again (kinda like a book in its 1st vs. later editions). It can get complicated. Best to find a shop you think you an trust or put them on-line for local sale only (shipping is a hassle for breakables.) Alternately, despite your comment, get a good turntable and enjoy them. I have a pretty high-end stereo system and when I compare even master-disc CDs to records in great condition the records have a luxuriance of sound that is unbeatable. Records, as you well know, are a commitment, however, in terms of keeping them clean, getting up to stop the player after each album, etc.!
