I collect vinyl and prices really depend on what pressing it is and what condition it is in.

The highest prices are for first pressing MINT condition records. By mint I mean basically unplayed. No marks at all, glossy vinyl and the jacket must be in new shape without any creases or marks. A few excellent condition records would grade out as near mint (NM), most of the records that people have really taken care of would be considered in EX condition or maybe EX+.

Anyhow, if you want to PM me I'll be happy to research some of what you have and give you an idea.

A good place to start is the Goldmine book which is the standard for collectible vinyl. A rule of thumb is that most records from the 60s and 70s in good playing condition run between $5 and $20 per record depending on artist. Some iconic bands like the Beatles go for higher, I have a nice copy of Meet the Beatles that is a 2nd pressing that is probably worth about $80-100. I bought it for $10 at a garage sale.
