Vinyl Records Top 5 eBay Sales Week Ending 12/31/2011

The private press funk treasure from John Heartsman gets the top spot on this lackluster week. The week after Christmas can be low-key, but watch for the weeks from early January through Valentine's day to test the economic resilience of vinyl in 2012. As filmmaker Jeanie Finlay points out in her acclaimed documentary "Sound It Out", record collecting is primarily a men's pre-occupation.

And I declare that as men most of us never get what we want for Christmas - socks, ties, hand-made chotchkies from our kids. We must sneak in our true material desires in the zone between New Years and Valentine's Day.

1. LP - John Heartsman And Circles "Music Of My Heart" Private - $3,250.00

2. LP - Hank Mobley "self-titled" Blue Note 1560 Original Pressing - $2,480.00

3. 45 - Ellipsis "People" / "Gregory Moore" Briarmeade - $2,462.00

4. LP - The Beatles "Yesterday And Today" 1st State Butcher Cover Mono - $2,300.09

5. 45 - Nirvana "Love Buzz" 533/1000 Sub Pop - $2,306.70

Sell Old Records said...

The truth is that it has never been easier to sell old records online and you can get a substantial amount of money for them if you have the right kind. Valuable old records are rare so if you have old blues 78 RPMS or early rock and roll 45 RPM records, consider yourself lucky. Some rare records can be worth hundreds of dollars each. Find the top buyers and check their references, then cash in when you sell old records!
