[QUOTE="all_fakes, post: 249743, member: 55"]Slightly OT, but I was researching old records - I've got some - and found that the majority are nearly worthless. There is a small market for some genres: older rock; early Motown; early jazz. But even in those genres, most are worth only a few dollars, and then only if record and jacket are in excellent condition. A local vintage record store has mentioned that for most records, made in the thousands, they already have many examples in stock, and cannot pay anything for another copy in mediocre condition. There are of course some exceptions. I've found that some internet research will often show current prices.
