The Hidden Goldmine in Your Vinyl Collection
If you're clearing out your house, don't forget to take a look at that old box of vinyl records. You might just be sitting on a valuable treasure.
Believe it or not, your old and damaged vinyl record could be worth up to £2,000, but only if it has one specific feature.
The Vinyl Specialist's Revelation
A vinyl specialist, known as 'The better dog records' on TikTok, recently unveiled the secret to identifying special vinyl records. With knowledge gained from selling records on eBay, this expert knows exactly what to look for.
What sets some vinyls apart? It's the incredible artwork on the sleeve.
The Banksy Connection
One vinyl record highlighted by 'The better dog records' features artwork from none other than the renowned underground artist Banksy.
Banksy, famous for his anti-authoritarian art and anonymity, has seen his work sell for millions in the past.
Titled 'Queen and C***ry, Don’t Stop me Now', this vinyl record is valued at £1,999.99.
According to the vinyl specialist, this record is one of the last releases to feature a Banksy artwork and is incredibly rare.
Unlocking the Value of Your Vinyl Collection
The vinyl revival is in full swing, making it the perfect time to assess the value of your old LPs.
Selling records for a good profit requires some effort and consideration of various factors:
- The age of the record
- The number of copies released
- The condition of the record
- The demand from potential buyers
However, navigating the marketplace can be challenging, especially without specialist knowledge.
Getting Expert Help or Going Solo
If you're looking for expert advice, there are different routes you can take. Auction houses can help you achieve the best possible price, but they do take a cut of the final sale.
Alternatively, you can sell your records on eBay, where a vast number of records are bought and sold.
Remember, the more obscure the band or genre, the higher the value of the record is likely to be. First editions of a band or artist's debut album are particularly sought after.
For example, a unique edition of Led Zeppelin's self-titled first album could be worth more than £1,000.
So, before you decide to discard your old vinyl, take a closer look. You might just have a valuable gem in your hands.
And who knows? You could be sitting on a small fortune.
