Whats my record worth ???

Like most things on Ebay it worth only what somebody else is willing to pay.

The advent of Ebay has made "worth" a more transparent thing to see than it used to be and if your looking to sell it on Ebay , which 99% of people who ask this question are, then the "Completed section" on Ebay is your best friend , this is where you will learn what it actually did fetch as apposed to some-one telling you what it should fetch.

Remember the condition of the LP is GOD and just because you have , say, an LP of Sgt Pepper does not mean it will be like the millions of other Sgt Peppers out there ...There are a miriad of diffrent "editions" of this LP out there and its the detail that people are willing to pay big money for ....confused??

Ok, let me explain, your Sgt Pepper looks like everybody elses because its got the same picture on the cover ...right? ....No ..... actually there can be 100's permitations of this LP that have been released over the years ....

Is it a USA copy ? ...Is it a UK copy? ..Is it Canadian ? is it Indian? ...or any other countries issue?? ...Is it original??? ...or a 1st / 2nd / 3rd etc pressing , is it Mono or Stereo? ...has it got a factory mistake on the record , has it got all the "bits" that it came out with??.....the permitation list is endless.

Now dont let that fighten you , but if you can list as much detail as you can think of before just asking "Ive got a record ..Whats it worth?" then this will enable people to help you as quick as possible .....

Unfortunatly(?)for you record collectors can be an anal bunch with their hobby and the value is in the detail , its the detail that we pay for , and the more detail you can give us the more we are able to help you sell your record for $100 rather than the $10 it may only go for when you omit a crutial point of sale in your description.

Good Luck

this is where you will learn what it actually did fetch as apposed to some-one telling you what it should fetch.

Lutonium ...I take your point thats why I quantified it in my original paragraph , at the end of the day most of the questionaires on this board are looking to sell their record next week/month.

And I stand by point for most of the time the simplest answer to those questions is to check the completed section.

We could argue between ourselfs until we are blue in face over wether "X" record is worth as much as it sold for or thats its worth more.....thats irrelevent to what we are trying to achieve here.

Most people want a simple answer of "is my record worth $1/$5/$10/$100/$1000 ?" ...and pointing them towards the completed section is probably as good as place to look than any "educated" (?) sumisary guesswork however well intended.

Please forgive my ignorance. Where does one find the "Completed Section"?

What would a one of a Kind album Miss Print Like Fleetwood Mac Rumors cover and on side ONE and CREAM Disraeli Gears on side two printed in 1977 Warner bros with the shrink rap still on it and vinyl is in good condition what would you sell it for

O.K. I've got one for you. It's a red label RCA Victor album from 1943, it's Beethovens symphony #2 in D major. On the back there is no music just kind of a spider web design and the words RCA Victor with the dog logo. It comes in a jacketed set with four other albums. What's it worth?

What I'm talking about is totally different than the scroll. the back of the album has been pressed with as many as 25 or so 1 inch or a little bigger spider web designs and has the RCA dog logo. If I knew how to post a picture here I would.
