dm Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I love how old people think that their old records are some kind of gold mine now that vinyl is popular again. Especially Beatles records. It's like they don't know that there were millions, MILLIONS of copies of most of these records made. My uncle found out that I collect records and plopped his collection on me with the caveat that I was to sell whatever I didn't want on eBay and give him the money. Yeah right. When i came home and showed them to my mother she was totally like this. "Beatles, must be worth something" - she couldn´t belive that their not really worth except its some special pressing or whatever.

somethingvinyl Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Funny enough, my dad has some SEALED early US pressings of every Beatles album except for two and I had to tell him to hang on those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thieves Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 beatle records are still pretty valuable, though i mean yeah they were in print forever and there are tons of em but even 70's pressings are worth over $10 in decent shape thing is most people (rightfully) played all their beatles stuff into the ground and/or were only kids who didn't know how to handle records when they got them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh83 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I have come across this also it's a Beatles album so it must be worth a fortune truth is between 50 plus years of countless reissues and high number of pressings your average Beatles lp isn't worth much. That's not to say that they don't have expensive collectables out there hell a black/gold label of please please me went for $17000 pounds on eBay last year.

bobfrombob Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 At the yard sales it's often the Elvis records that people think are valuable. They can never believe at 1 pm nobody has bought them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moodydan Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 My mom bought me 2 records last weekend at a Goodwill, an Elvis Aloha from Hawaii and a Who record. Not so much. Which Who record was it? It's Hard. I'll listen to it eventually, but I'm not that huge of a Who fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
