What's your vinyl actually worth?

Type any record and see what that pressing is really worth right now: the lowest price it is selling for, how many copies are for sale, and how many collectors own it versus want it. Live data from the Discogs database of millions of pressings.

Tip: the exact pressing matters. If you know the catalogue number from the label or back cover, add it. First pressings are worth far more than reissues.

How to read the results. Each card is a specific pressing. The lowest price is the cheapest copy currently listed, so a clean copy is usually worth more. For sale is scarcity, and own vs want is demand: when far more collectors want a record than own it, and few are for sale, the value tends to rise. Sealed and Near Mint copies command a big premium over worn ones.
Keep your records worth more. Condition is half the value. A good record cleaning kit and anti-static inner sleeves protect the grade that collectors pay for. Building a collection? Compare turntables too.

Common questions

How do I find out what my vinyl is worth?

Identify the exact pressing (catalogue number and year), then check what that pressing sells for. This tool shows the live lowest price, how many are for sale, and the own-vs-want demand. The same album can be worth $10 or $500 depending on the pressing, so match the catalogue number.

What makes a record valuable?

Pressing (first pressings and limited editions beat reissues), condition (near-mint can be worth several times a worn copy), scarcity (few for sale), and demand (more want it than own it). Original jazz, soul, funk, reggae and early rock pressings are among the most sought after.

Does condition change the price that much?

Yes. On the Goldmine grading scale a Near Mint copy can be worth two to five times a Very Good one, and a sealed original more still. The lowest price here is the cheapest listed copy regardless of grade, so a clean copy usually commands more.

Is this what I will actually get?

It is the current lowest asking price, the best free live guide. What you get depends on your copy's condition and whether you sell privately or to a shop (shops pay less). Few for sale plus high demand means you can ask more.
