jgm Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Hey, folks. I purchsed a record collection from a guy I know who was going to take them to a pawn shop. They weren't going to give him much at all for them so I gave him a little better deal. I don't know much about them, so I was hoping you could help me with their value. I appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks! swinx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuzzersonKillwell Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Probably .50 to 1.25 per record. You can try and check individual titles at discogs.com if you like but at first glance I wouldn't say you've got too much to get excited about from a retail perspective.

Hairy Potter Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 you have a gold mine of sick jams though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabpower Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Depends on the condition of each record and jacket. I see you have some good music there but also some less sought after records. I'd say on average between $0.50 to $5 per record. chiefwahoo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrewest Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Give me a year & I'll go record by record & break down average worth down to the penny. Klefki 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I spot some Anthrax, Dokken, and The Cult in there. Works for me! 99% of those are bargain bin records. $0.50 to $5.00 at most as was mentioned. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 That Nektar LP is pretty sweet. So is the Motley Crue LP. I can't take the time to read all the titles but you are not sitting on a gold mine here. I couldn't imagine breaking these out piece by piece so your best bet is creating lots by band, genre, era and selling them that way. If you paid less than $100 you should double your money and then some but you are not looking at a huge pay day. Limit your effort in selling these.

mrewest Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 People really take zero time to browse VC to actually see what is discussed. In saying that, I'll give you $10 just to take the time & spin every record start to finish. You know, listen to the records you bought. nancy_raygun, cbbrew22, kk-downing and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Count exactly how many records are in that collection. Add a dollar sign to that quantity. That is its value. EDIT: On second look, that Kill 'Em All spine looks pretty nice. That one is probably worth a good amount depending on the condition. I would keep it if I were you though.

museummouth Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Any record store would give you $10-20 for the lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cephcarn4 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Metallica might be worth something depending if its an original from 83. If its from megaforce records it will probably fetch around 80-100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its from megaforce records it will probably fetch around 80-100 Going off the condition and the way the rest have been stored, you would have a hard time selling KEA for that much....would have to be in pretty good condition for a $80+ sell surely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingvinyl Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Yeah, what most said. 95% of those are common records. They're $5 retail at a used record shop, so they're only going to give you .50 cents or a buck for most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangesix Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 about 5 good records surrounded by a bunch of junk. only 1 or 2 are worth more than $5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burntwolf Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 is there a megaforce ride the lightning in there? been looking for that KEA megaforce is my favorite pressing, altho i listen to elektra one more bc it has the 2 bonus tracks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twistedshabazz Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Based on condition alot of these would probably be passed on at a local shop. They are selling them for 1-3 bucks in good to very good shape. Your best bet may be craigslist or a place like that and sell them locally. If you are really looking to sell here im sure some would take a few off your hands. There are a few i would take myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apirk Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Probably worth a little more then whatever the guy from the pawn shop was willing to give him when you consider the time you are going to have to put in to selling them to get their top value which probably isn't much.
