In our house we have a couple of gold records like the one pictured below. They range from Green Day, Led Zepplin, Britney Spears and finally The Who. They are all similar too this and I was just wondering what the rough value of these are? Out of pure curiosity rather than looking to sell them.



Close up of the writing



Anyone have any ideas of a website which may be able to help? Or personal expierence?

It's what people will pay....have you searched ebay.

To be honest, although we all hate ebay, whatever they sell for on their is their worth.

If you want rid, still on ebay and you'll get the value....

I'll give you £11 and a McDonalds milkshake.

Seriously though, got to be worth quite a few bobs to a collector or something? If you've got an old school vinyl shop nearby anywhere, try them?

Failing that, £11 and a McDonalds milkshake is my final offer. Vanilla only.

Off Topic: Is that you missus in the background giving you a disapproving look? laugh

Have a look online and see if there are any shops out there that sell this sort of thing. I wouldn't use eBay to sell something like that as people will presume it's fake.

I think she was confused why I was taking a picture of it. laugh

I have had a quick look on eBay, but doesn't seem to have anything which is like this. Unfortunatley taking them in person is out the question so I was looking more to any specialist websites, and personal recommendations.

Just to clarify, I am not looking to sell these. I am a big Who fan (can be seen wearing a tour t-shirt in the picture if you squint) and am trying to work out how much they cost.

Might value if you get in touch or Google music memorabilia shops

As said above. Look for where-ever they are for sale. That will give you a rough idea.

Something is worth what someone is willing to pay!

It doesn't look like an official gold disc (i.e. would say it's presented to Roger Daltrey etc etc by the recording industry for selling 100000 copies etc etc). As such there could be 1000 identical ones out there.

It's really worth what someone wants to pay for it, but I don't think a dedicated collector is going to mistake it for a real one. Sorry

How much did you pay for it
