Look on Discogs to see what other people ask for for postage. Usually its about £3.00 plus an extra 50p for additional vinyls, but thats a ****in rip off. I sent a record 1st class not so long ago and it cost 1.60? or summat like that.
Like Jax said take them to the post office and weigh em. Id say about 6-8kg.

that sounds about right for 30odd vinyl's i sold a pack of 30 on ebay a while back, cost me around about £9/10 :)
meathead is 100% right about those ebay ripoff merchants charging freekin £3+ for sending vinyl, freekin cheepscapes!
people who overcharge for shipping piss me off! last one i complained to about it said somthing like "yeah, but its for packaging and travel expenses to send it"
bah!

30 = about 6kg :)

The most common weights for 12" are 140g and 180g per record, if I'm not mistaken.
So let's use 160g which is right in between, and 160g * 31 = 4.96kg which is right below 11lbs I think :P

those weights i just gave...i picked up 30 of mine and walked into the kitchen and weighed them :P
though i ended up only weighing 10 of them cause the kitchen scales dont go high enough for 30..
