 | kab2112 SUBS Wales, where men are men and sheep are nervous Member since Jan 2011 15467 Points Moderator | One of my friends' parents has passed away, leaving about 200-300 LPs, maInly classical records, box sets etc. She;s not sure what to do with them and I've helped with some of her easy listening LPs of the mainstream artists, where there are entries in the Record Collector "Rare Record Price Guide" Does any one know of an on-line price guide for the Classical genre? It's not something I normally look at as I have very little interest in classical music or classical recordings. Any advice would be appreciated. |

 | Magic Marmalade If you're not lost... It's not an adventure! Member since Jun 2014 3735 Points Moderator | This has come up before in another thread, and the general outline of what's worth something is Classical Vinyl Guide (brief), There's another link somewhere in forums for another site which I can't find at the moment, but it's for a guy (dealer) who buys classical vinyl. Generally Classical is either (mostly) worthless, or worth a ton... providing it's mint. And the definition for classical vinyl of mint leaves other genres of music's mint grade more like Parsley. Late fifties- early/mid sixties stereo pressings on HMV (Gold and white), Columbia powder blue and white rim labels, and early decca "wide band" stereos, look for ASD, and, SAX, or SXL prefixes to cat#s and it's well worth checking the value of on popsike. Dealers will probably pay well and in bulk for really good stuff (search: classical Vinyl, on net for dealers sites)... the rest may be better to go to a charity shop. |

| Magic Marmalade If you're not lost... It's not an adventure! Member since Jun 2014 3735 Points Moderator | Quite welcome. Wouldn't profess to be an expert of course.... but then, classical music is a bit difficult to get a proper handle on. Check everything would be the best advice. |

 | Orbiting Cat Member since Jan 2008 1176 Points Administrator | A way of valuing records is checking eBay. There's an option to do an advanced search, and you can check "Completed Listings". |
