I think most of these are very common and can be picked up at yard sales or GW. The Beatles albums may have some collector value.
Would you listen to most of these? (Like the Angel records)
What I would do is try to get them for free AND offer to make CD's from the ones he really liked. If you don't have a recorder, buy one and consider that the price you paid.

I can say I would listen to all of these. I do have the capability to dump songs into my mac through some pretty good A-D converters and put them in any format. I shudder at the time spent dumping all of these to CD's.

Buy a cd recorder, hook it up to your rig, and when you listen to each record make a copy.

If they're near cherry, a buck each in bulk.
If he's cleaned them all well, replaced the sleeves and includes outer sleeves maybe $3.
If the Beatles or Zeppelin are collectable, add that, subtract $1 to take Elton John off his hands.

Thanks guys. I think i would have overpayed a little if doing it on my own.

Just wondering, why does your friend not want his fathers records? If he has not discovered the wonders of vintage and vinyl you are not being a good friend.
