I am starting the process of going through my dads old records. He was a huge collector and I'm trying to determine worth and value. Any hint tips tricks etc would be greatly appreciated.

And if searching EBay, check COMPLETED listings, to see what a record actually sold for, rather than just what someone listed it at.

For the ignorant, please point ME in the direction of how to find “COMPLETED listings”, can not see it on eBay page. :embarrassed:

Have just had a look at “45rpm records” “Ending soonest” 10.16am, but can not see the little tick box or anything else to show completed listings.

If I click on an item that has just ended, “Anthrax - I’m The Man 7” Shaped Pic UK 1987 VG+ Speed /Thrash Metal” all I see is “This listing has ended. The seller has relisted this item or one like this.”

mlgh224, will the tick box on the left hand side (when I find it) show all the recent ended items and the price they sold for?

Yes it will.
If you do a search there will be a number of options down the left side allowing you to refine the search, one being a Show Completed Listings tick box.
I am however referring to the desk top site. I'm on my mobile at the moment and can't find it!

Thanks for your patients, I’m using desktop Windows XP, Mozilla Firefox, so far no joy, have notice also, though I’m log on, sometimes it will not show the countdown to one that is due to be ending.
I shall give your comments another try, I shall be on and off site over the next 24 hours, so may not be able to reply straight away to your answers, but will keep you updated.


7pm update: found on the left side, lots of different things, two being, "SHOW ONLY" 1/ Completed listings, 2/ Sold listings, I take it this is what you refer to,
and if so, thanks for all your help. :thumbsup:

Another question, I have a item up for sale (not a vinyl) which has a few days to go, anyway of knowing how many if any have had a look at said item?.

I think there are extra tools / my pages bits one has to look at, though its interesting the only important viewer is the one what eventually coughs up the money for it!!

Anyone new to the field and trying to sell their records might be interested in Tim Gracyk's short primer: Tips For Selling Your Collection of 78s.

Worth checking out with regard to value are especially his points Nr. 7-12.

When you list an item you can add a counter to the page, which counts the number of visits.

You don't need to add the counter, its logged anyway - just go to All Selling and it shows you Views, Watchers and Bids (as applicable) per item
