Getting A Fair Price?

[Guest neptune]

Hi Guys,

Am new to this forum, just a quick question. How do you get a fair price for records that you dont know what their current value is. Looking to get rid of some I bought in the late 70s early 80s, got a mixture of 45s english,us imports and LPs. Is it worth trying E-bay or any of the soul sites that auction records.

AND KEEP AN EYE ON HERE AS TO WHAT PRICES RECORDS GO FOR

If you don't know what their current value is how would you decide what a fair price is?

Get a price guide (deduct 15-30% although some are miles out - lower and higher) and do some online research. Either that or stick them all on ebay with a low start and they will find their level (usually).

At the moment it seems to be easier to buy than sell.

Thanks for your input!!!! Just trying to get an honest slant on how things are at the moment. Seems to be some dodgy dealings on Ebay.

P.S. Will forward you my bank details, sort code and date of birth etc. Dont forget to let me have your address.

Quite often people post on here asking for values/going rates for records. So you could just post up a list (including details such as condition, original/reissue, etc.,) on here asking for values. There's always someone willing to answer and post up values. This is normally followed by another poster contradicting those values first supplied .

it will be tricky if you don't at least have a feel for what they should be worth.

ebay and here for sales.

just post up a selection of what you have
