need craigslist (album selling) help!

(My question is craigslist's "for sale" headings...unsure about "collectible.")

It is really expensive to ship a vinyl album (a 33 rpm?) when you put it in heavy card board the same size of the album (it cost $4.90 each -- I know, I just shipped two of them.) $4.90 could be more than the albums are worth.

Anyway, I'm going to list my old albums for sale on craigslist, to get rid of them locally. My mom is moving in January 20 and I need to make more space. She's having some problems right now, so we may have her here for 1 year.

When looking at their headings, "albums" is not one of them. "Music" is not one of them. The only thing close is "collectible." To me, it would mean something rare like if only 300 Elvis Presley or Pearl Jam albums were pressed.

Is an album from the late seventies or eighties a collectible? I know my Neal Schon album was (it is considered rare) but what about top forty stuff?

Don't laugh too hard, ok? Here is my list:

.38 Special "Tour de Force"
Bill Squier "Don't Say No"
Boston self titled
Genesis "Duke"
Genesis "Invisible Touch"
Heart "Passionworks"
John Cougar Mellancamp "uh-huh"
Journey self titled
Loverboy self titled
Loverboy "Get Lucky"
REO Speedwagon "A Decade of Rock and Roll 1970 to 1980"
Rush "Permanent Waves"
Sammy Hagar "Standing Hampton"
Sammy Hagar "Three Lock Box"
Shooting Star "Hang on for Your Life"
Shooting Star "III Wishes"
Stevie Nicks "The Wild Heart"
The Fixx "Reach the Beach"
The Police "Synchronicity"
The Ravyns self-titled (includes Raised on the Radio)

    I got rid of the rare one. And, I gave my Tom Petty one away to a Pearl Jam fan.

    my question was...(well do you look at http://www.craigslist.org?), what heading do I put them under? their headings for sale do not apply.
