Vinyl Records we have little interest in:
Most vinyl records that fall into the categories below are worth from nothing to ten cents a piece to us. There are, however, a small percentage of titles in each of these genres that we are looking for. Please speak with one of our appraisers for more information.
Used LPs whose vinyl and/or covers are not in excellent to near-mint condition (unless they are very sought-after titles)
70s, 80s, and 90s Rock and Soul musicians that we get too many of like Elton John, Billy Joel, The Police, and Lionel Richie
Most Shows, and many Soundtracks Many Classical recordings, and most Opera
Big Band LPs - Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey, etc.
Easy Listening LPs - Ray Conniff, Andre Kostelanetz, Andy Williams, etc.
Most Country LPs pressed after 1970
International pop and easy listening LPs
Many Comedy, most budget labels, and many samplers with different musicians
Time-Life, Readers Digest, and most other compilation box sets
