Take the Beatles as a great example. They originally issued their LP’s in the 1960’s, there were then re-runs as early as 1969, many issues through the 1970’s and 1980’s and then even special anniversary issues in the 1990’s right up to present day. The issue of the record can have a significant impact on the value that it holds.

It’s a signed David Bowie Heroes Vinyl (includes COA), never been out of the frame so it’s in mint condition. How do i find out the issue etc. on this particular one?

We are moving house and clearing the loft and we have about 30 vinyl LPs that are thinking of selling all in really good condition Hi Steve – I have a number of Elvis vinyl LPs but sadly either in the wrong sleeve or sleeveless (including an HMV LP) also a couple of Hank Williams MGM 10″ LPs in pretty decent condition. assorted comedy from Stanley Holloway to Billy Connolly (including Gerard Hoffnung at the Oxford Union) I’m looking, like everyone, to see what they are worth, which I know you would need to see for yourself. But you might be able to give me some idea Reply Another avenue you might consider is selling your records at an auction house. Possibly a good combination of being able to achieve a high price without all the work. You might be right, but there are still fees here that will be charged for you selling the item. Probably more importantly are the fees that will be charged to the winning bidder. These can be as high as 20% so the winning bidder does need to factor this when bidding. Again it’s all an impact of the value of your record collection. Selling your records in BulkA. EXCUSE ME! I am of course a record dealer. I will never offer pennies for record collections. Firstly if the offer was to be that low I wouldn’t want to buy them anyway. Record dealers and shops are running a business we need to make a profit. Yes some will be more generous than others. Some may want to pay more for specific genres that they specialise in. Some will be fussier around condition, but if you have desirable records for sale we will want to pay as much as we possibly can for them. I think it’s important to understand the overheads involved in selling on vinyl records and also the amount of work that needs to be done. My motto is that I want to make the process as easy for you as possible whilst being able to offer the best prices. Of course my offers aren’t always accepted, but i’ll give it my best shot and if you aren’t happy with the offer I am always able to offer advice on how you can sell them individually yourself. Conclusion – How much are my vinyl records really worth? I’ve got iron maiden and Metallica vinyl I’m wondering if you a price list guide so I can cross reference my items I have a collection of lps to sell rolling stones led zepplin beatles david bowie moody blues ten years after Duane eddy the who etc.would you be interested in buying mainly 60s 70s 80s first editions condition good a few with slight cover damage Reply The rest of the family will not listen to them so it would be great if they went to someone who would appreciate his collection.

classical LPs (many from the Classics Club in the 50’s, mostly individual composers, with some composers in pairs and some compilations) Do the Elvis LPs without sleeves consign them them to junk or will they still retain some value? Reply Depending on Which country can be a huge price difference. I own over 60 different Versions of the MMT EP alone in my collection. Reply Hi Steve I have george Harrison all things must pass 3 albums in original sleeves with lyrics on Reply ARTHUR BAKER - When punk and electronic music began to cross wires in the late 70s, this New Englander played a key role behind the remixer’s desk. Hip hop and, erm, Bob Dylan also owe him a debt

Amongst my old 1960s LPs and 45s I have several 45s with a big A on one side …. this is because in my late teens I knew someone in the record industry …. are they worth anything? Reply Are you ever interested in looking at whole collections and buying them all. I have photos that I could send Reply Hi I have a box of LPs 12 inch and 7inch records various artist some pink floyd I just want to sell them all would you be intrested Reply Record Collector Grading System– Mainly used in the UK as the guide to describing the condition of a record. This is another very overlooked factor when choosing to sell your record collection or even a single record. If you have a record collecting friend who is going to pay the top price for each record that you have then you might be able to realise every ounce of potential that your collection has. However this is rarely the case and many peoples motivation will be to clear some space from a loft or spare room.
