What would be the most comprehensive website with record pricing?
Im sure this is elementary knowledge on SS, but I never had to deal
with selling records before.

Thanks in advance.

    Pay no attention to him. Use only these websites to price all your records. If you can't find a reference for it on either of these sites, it's probably only worth $5 or less.

    No offence Mark but there's stuff you've listed on there, certain titles from Australia, even Henry Mancini records... and it's the only listing in some cases, and the prices are ridiculous for some of that shit... so in saying that, there's no way I would use gemm or cdandlp to price stuff. If I did, my $10 crate of Aussie stuff would be the $80 crate.

    May I suggest pricing using the following;
    1. current eBay listings
    2. recently ended eBay listings
    3. current discogs listings
    4. discogs sales history data

    and at times, a look at collectorfrenzy / popsike for a little insight into the *HIGHEST* prices paid and trends in pricing can help...

    peace.

    This is either a cruel joke or the worst advice I've ever read.

    It has to be your first guess. gemm.com prices are being payed in a parallel universe.

    I will now price all copies of Thriller at $517.02.

    Thank you, Gemm.

    Basically there isn't one. I know that doesn't help, but at least you get an idea that there is a whole range of prices listed on sites and basically things just sell for what the buyer is willing to pay.

    ^^^ Sheep's advice is on point, especially if you are really just getting started at learning how to price things. At least you will get a more "current" price vs outdated Goldmine books from 2004
