While you won't find a definitive price guide for vintage vinyl anywhere on the Net, you can browse through dozens of individual dealer's catalogs, thereby getting a rough idea of the value of some of your records. The best place to find such a record dealer is under Yahoo!'s Vinyl Collecting category. Unfortunately, most record dealers will offer you considerably less than their selling price if in fact they are interested in purchasing your platters. On the other hand, you might consider selling your 45s through an online auction service such as eBay or Yahoo! Auctions. On these sites, you can list your records
individually or as a collection to see what collectors are willing to pay. Of course, by using an auction site, you're agreeing to sell your goods at the highest bid (as long as it's greater than the "reserve price" you've set). Finally, you might consider contacting sites that specialize in helping record collectors. Places like Goldmine Online facilitate the buying and selling of vintage recordings, and should give you access to educated consumers that may be willing to help you accurately price your collection.
