For me, as a reseller, one of the worst comments a potential seller can make is "I looked up some of the prices on eBay". My rebuttal is usually "well sell them on eBay then." I only buy from sellers who are realistic in evaluating their records worth..
People seeing $$$ in this hobby I appreciate you GI you give back a lot for free-priceless and you are not pretentious thankful!
Love the video. Definitely agree that what makes some of the vintage records even more rare is when they are sealed.
A great topic👍
Great video !
Recently bought a Japanese Promo pressing of Joy Division - Unknown pleasures with OBI and insert. The standard Japanese press of this is pretty scarce but the promo is drastically. One with the OBI has never even sold on discogs!
Desire and rarity is what determines price of a near mint item. Desire can range but wants vs haves is a key metric. Lesser grades come into play when there were not many pressed and few are currently on market. Lesser grades are usually nominal to budget for chart stuff.
Very interesting and informative.
Looking on Discogs median value, I can say that it's not set in stone since values of my most valuable records have changed quite a lot since last time I check a couple years ago.
I have gotten into a couple specific modern soul labels. Colemine Records, Daptone records ( and their west coast Division Penrose records) and some of the pressings are going for crazy money to me. For example, Colemine records just came out with a east LA Souldie group (Thee Sinseers) is already going for 80 bucks on Discogs and more on ebay. 600 were pressed on fire swirl colored vinyl, and there are a couple more exclusives even more limited that go for more money. What's crazy is this record just released less then a month ago.
1994 beck mellow gold no barcode and only on bong load records. Rare to me. Love the channel
I have a queen X-Men cover on the News of the World LP .only 240 known to have been pressed.
Fair points. It’s pretty much supply and demand. But I get the condition point for sure. Been tougher to find clean records out there. The geography definitely. The rarest record I know is a Chilean record I have been after for 7 years and have only seen for sale online 4 times, once with the original poster in vg+ condition. For me it’s the rarest because I cannot find it. I have reached out to resellers/collectors there and they tell me it’s virtually impossible to find. My rarest record is Venezuelan pressing of Manduka with alternate tracks. At one point I was one of two people on discogs who had it. I think a few have popped up for sale since but I also had a hand in getting the discogs listing right. I also have a couple of one of a kind hand drawn covers from a small pressed Brazilian contemporary jazz record. It’s absolutely amazing but no one knows about it. Hoping it becomes a future classic but I doubt it.
Test Press'! Love them and they're always "rare" at least as far as a variant.
Hi GI, started following you after your interview w/the Discogs folks. I've been collecting vinyl for almost 50 years, specifically 12" dance & new wave, but I have many LP's... and while recently inputting into my Discogs collection, I was blown away that a Nirvana "Nevermind" album went for $1000! Please, if you could enlighten me on how the hell that happens, please, I'm all ears.
Great explanation of all the nuances that can make something that is mass produced and has many presses available but maybe one of those presses is only 300 copies and is numbered, that’s much different than having a copy of one of the presses that has thousands
If I can't find it/no one ever has it- then it's rare!
One in collection like your view… European 1st Press of PJ Harvey’s Rid Of Me.
I live in Maine and rarely ever see Towne Van Zandt or Guy Clark. You're right about that!
Rickie lee Jones Traffic from Paradice or Del Amitri Waking hours or Poi Dog Pondering self titled and Jerry Hahn's Moses album are my unusual albums, are they rare? I don't know but I like them.
