Records3432 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Hey, I'm new to this forum and this is my first post. The other day I found a Velvet Underground and Nico Verve V-5008 (mono) at a garage sale. It has the yellow DJ only label on the record. I'm not a record expert and was wondering if there was an online service that I could get this record appraised and graded for condition. I live in Philadelphia if anyone knows a local place. Thanks, John smeepo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajhall04 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Well, there are a ton of versions of this pressed. Honestly, I would narrow down your search by using www.discogs.com, check recent history and go from there until you decide to try and flip it to some sap. Some of these are not that valuable, some are. All depends on the details. http://www.discogs.com/Velvet-Underground-Nico-The-Velvet-Underground-Nico/master/35276 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajhall04 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 If that's the one, it will really depend on condition, the cover, etc. But, that is a pretty desirable Velvet record. Here is another resource for you. Make sure your Matrix Markings match. http://www.popsike.com/php/quicksearch.php?searchtext=velvet+underground+v-5008&x=0&y=0And if you sell, be fair and honest. Good luck. Condition wise, could be 300+. If this was truly a garage sale, nice find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know of any services which will grade my record? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

626C7565 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Go on Discog or eBay and see what's the cheapest that press is going for.. you should get about that price minus 10-20% and minus $10 shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
