Only place that will make an money is eBay, pain in the arse, listing them, packaging them and posting them, selling them job lot to a dealer, you’ll get pennies for them 👍

Definitely sell this as an individual item. This isn't going to be an original pressing but you can probably determine the year it was pressed which might add value. At the very least this is worth the current retail price of the same item if not more. You'd have no bother getting £15 for this on Ebay or FB Marketplace. This looks like a useful guide for checking when albums were pressed, particularly how to look for original pressings https://vinylvirgins.com/how-to-tell-if-a-record-is-an-original-pressing/#:~:text=A closer look at the spine of the record sleeve,, such as XY-12345.

Tom at vinylrecords on your link only buys in bulk Kelly and he would want an initial overview over the phone of some of your collection before he would visit your home to offer you a price.
Here is some info from himself that might give you an insight into this type of market....
"Many records are now worthless bar the bands which still remain credible to the customers. What remains saleable are the more obscure and cooler realms of rock, reggae, punk, jazz, psychedelica, metal etc, as well as the major collectable bands. Mainstream pop/rock/soul from the 50s-90s no longer sells, nor do unfashionable indie bands, commercial dance music and RnB, easy listening, trad, folk, 78s or almost all classical records. This is especially true of 7" singles, for which only a very specialised collectors' market exists.
We are currently offered about 4,000 records a week, we sell about 400 on a good week so we need to be selective and we need to buy in bulk to make any money
I'm afraid the market is totally fashion conscious; most vinyl goes to the under 30s and they won't touch what they consider uncool stuff "
Of course as has been said you could go down the ebay and social media online route of selling individually but if its a sale in one go you are after Tom might help or you could contact these guys.
Here is another link for an event coming up with a phone number at the bottom that you could maybe get some helpful advice from.

True or false; John Lennon wrote ‘love me do’ after a particularly good haircut?
