The MORE important question is this...! Will they be interested
enough to search the net for the highest possible resale price...
or will they simply hire a strong dude to carry all the now-
obsolete-and-unwanted 78's out to the curb on "garbage day>!"

I have already picked up around 100 78's put out as trash in my
"boulevard surplus" project (as well as several nice winter coats
and enough chairs to provide me with seating on my verandah!)
I have also purchased some 20,000 VERY miscellaneous 78's
via a local dealer; he knows I collect 78's and thus will help
anyone out who is "stuck: with a lot of 78's...! I have no idea if the
owner of the 78's gets paid anything; however I usually wind up
paying a few cents each for large quantities of 78's...!
