Are vinyl records worth anything?

Most records have some value and some can be worth a significant amount, especially if they are rare, in great condition, or highly sought after. That said, the value can vary hugely depending on the specific record, the artist, the year, and the condition etc. Very common LPs may only be worth a pound or so, where as rarer records in mint condition can be worth hundreds!

How do I find out what my vinyl records are worth?

Working out the value of a collection can be a bit tricky, as it depends on the condition, rarity and popularity of each record within it. You can research online resources and consult record price guides, but it’s important to factor in the time and effort it would take to achieve the best price for each record.

What can I do with old vinyl records?

People are sometime unsure what they should do with an old record collection they no longer want. If you’re looking to sell, CashforRecords is a great place to start. Failing that we’d suggest donating them to charity, or repurposing them into your own unique art pieces!

Does anyone want old vinyl records?

Are scratched records worth anything?

Scratched records can still have some value. It largely depends on the severity of the scratches and their impact on the sound quality. Whilst we prefer records in great condition, we may buy the odd scratched record, if the scratches are superficial or the title is particularly rare of hard to find.

Are records without sleeves / covers worth anything?

The cover, also known as the sleeve or jacket, can have a significant impact on the value of a vinyl record. However, records without a cover can still have value depending on the rarity and demand of the specific record.

Should I keep or sell my records?

Obviously that is a personal decision. If you no longer listen to or cherish your records, selling them to a vinyl record buyer is great way to declutter and can provide you with extra cash, safe in the knowledge they’re going to a good home. However, if you still enjoy listening to your records, then we’d suggest you keep them! That’s right… we’re passionate about vinyl!

How do I dispose of vinyl records? Should I throw them away?

Noooo! Unless they’re really badly damaged, please consider selling, donating, or repurposing them. Throwing them away contributes to landfill waste, whereas giving them a new life can bring joy to someone else.
