    Does anyone know a site that gives valuations or approximate values for old vinyl records?
    Cheers.

    Record Collector price guide is your best bet.

    Despite numerous articles in the media regarding vinyl's continuing success in holding a reasonable market share of new music sales, many people still hold the perception that the format has been dead since the early 1990s.

    Last year I purchased 35 new albums (i.e. albums of new material released in 2006).

    25 of these have been on vinyl while in the case of five others I chose to purchase the CD version.

    So much for being a dead / obselete format!

    I had no idea so much vinyl was still being produced. I thought it was only the really obscure stuff. In my case, it's my grown up sons listening to our old record collection. Thin Lizzy, Led Zep etc. They love the crackly old sounds. No digital re-mastering back then.

    I know vinyl has become more popular as a format again, but I've heard from a big vinyl-geek that from a collector's point of view the market has changed and there's not much money in it anymore, bar the rarest of the rare... Not sure why and it may not be the case, but I know my vinyl collection is there for my own personal use - I have a few rare ones that I've no intention of selling on!
