You can make a lot of money Selling Your Old Vinyl Records because they are still in high demand. The only problem is that you have to be careful not to resell them so much that they start to lose value. This article will give you tips on how to avoid this.

You should start by going through your things and seeing what you might have that is saleable. Vinyl records are currently quite collectible, so if you have a collection of records you no longer play, why not see if you can make some money by selling them off?

Generally speaking, vinyl records are collectible. Many younger people grew up with CDs and MP3s but are now taking an interest in vinyl record collecting. This is because many rare issues never made it to CD. There are also plenty of records that have had a reissue on CD, but collectors still prize the original vinyl version, either for its rarity or because the jacket art is attractive.

On the other hand, many vinyl records are practically worthless. Typically, records that were hugely successful in their day were pressed in very large numbers and are therefore commonly found, which depresses their value. By contrast, records that were pressed in small quantities are by definition rare. If you have records by bands and singers that were never chart-toppers, you are almost certain to own some discs of considerable value. You should search eBay and Google to see what the typical prices are for the records you own.

When selling records online, you must take great care to describe the discs accurately and mention any faults. Ideally, you should play the part of the record to check what the sound quality is like. However, if you do not have a playback system, you can assess quality by looking at the surface of the disc under bright light. Collectors place a much higher value on a disc in mint, unplayed condition. If a mint copy is unobtainable, then one in ‘near mint, or ‘VG+’ will also be saleable, but fetch a lower price. Records that are obviously worn and scratched will be worth very little compared to the same title in mint condition. When searching eBay or Google for prices of records, note the described condition and price your copy up or down accordingly.

The same principle regarding the pricing of records applies to any accompanying jacket or sleeve. Collectors may or may not be a little less concerned about jacket condition versus disc condition. Nevertheless, it is important to describe any faults, such as tearing, abrasion, stains, or writing on jackets.

Vinyl records are rather fragile so they must be packed well when mailing them to buyers. It is important to reinforce the disc and jacket with a stiff card to prevent bending or even snapping of a valuable item.
