Vintage vinyl

[superdave1984]

So I have found a giant stash of vintage vinyl, mostly LP but a few 45s. Most appear to be in excellent condition even though they have been in a garage for 15 plus years. There are some that look like they got wet and I am not sure they would still play. Very diverse collection ranging from Allman Brothers to Linda Ronstandt, John Lee Hooker, etc. Lots of artists I honestly have never heard of. And some one hit wonders like Warren Zevon. My question is, what are these things worth? Probably a couple hundred total in the collection.

Prolly $200 unless you have something crazy rare… vinyl is cool to own, but it’s not worth anything. A used store will sell those for maybe $5 per for in demand albums

I did a quick ebay search and that seems about right. I ain't gonna go to all that trouble. They will go to the estate auction. Prolly sell the whole lot for $10.

You were prolly hoping for a better answer so sorry. I love collecting vinyl, but part of the fun is going through used stacks, finding 3-4 albums and maybe spending $20 on all 4.

one of my favorites. My dad had the 8 track too. These knew how to play.

Some of the more interesting ones. I decided to bring them all home.

Couple more. The Meat Loaf one skips a bit. These all belonged to my wife's uncle. He had a big crush on Linda Ronstadt it seems.

As kids, we had these two albums and still love listening to some TJB today. Herb loved him some good-looking women on his album covers.



And I picked up years later this album and it's well known cover:

I don't remember seeing any Herb Alpert, but there are some Chuck Mangione in the collection.

Linda Ronstadt is my all-time favorite female vocalist. Breaks my heart she's in a nursing home with Parkinsons.
