Vinyl, best place to value

[johnnywgk]

As above, I've got loads of vinyl records all sizes all ages and want rid of. Can anyone tell me the best place to value and best place to sell. Many thanks

How many, what sort of stuff what condition?

https://www.discogs.com/ - a mine of info and will give realistic prices. You can sell through their online marketplace but if you're selling in bulk you might be better finding an offline buyer.

Use the catalogue number to search them. Much quicker than by artist because whatever it is there will usually be lots of different issues etc (which can massively affect value). Although it can be funny about spacing and stuff.

Agree with Discogs, also look at closed items on Ebay (remembering it costs about a fiver just to post and package an LP)

Also, leave the easy listening stuff (if you have any) til last or don't bother with it, as basically no-one wants it, I'm thinking of the likes of James Last, Engelbert Humperdinck, The Pipes And Drums Of _ etc etc, as well as a lot of classical stuff (but NOT all classical), especially if they have scuffs/scratches.

I dabble in car booting decent LP's and have sold a good number that otherwise go for £10-ish total (inc P&P) online, but I put them in a polythene sleeve after checking condition and sell them for £4 or £5 each. The presentation counts for a lot

Cheers guys, as for what music I will have to check ( I got them as a job lot )

As for condition don't know because I haven't a deck, but will try to get one

Anything with a barcode can be scanned on the discogs app. I think it is under 'search'.

About 300 12" singles, all drum n bass and the dj like, some white label and promo not for resale dj stuff. Condition varies from some out of covers and covered in dust to nice condition.
Have been on the above site for prices some good stuff and some just wasted my data lol.
Still got about 250 to find that rare one. Got twin 12" packs, ie Moby. Other bands I've never heard of like shaggy ridims, Mrs wood and paragliders etc, then stuff like the prodigy.
