I have collected jazz vinyl for over 50 years. I am interested in selling some albums, but would like to research value and buyers. Where do I go for this?

That subjectiveness when it comes to grading is one of the reasons I stopped, for the most part, selling records on eBay and such. While one tries to be conservative, the variables that come into play, as mentioned by Jason, can result in varying forms of dissatisfaction for buyer and seller. I currently find it easier to bulk ship records to such places as Dusty Groove and get a check in return. Graded the monetary return is not always as large as if sold individually but the onus of grading and selling is now on their end not mine.

at the end of the day, grading is very subjective. I’ve bought some records that said were VG- and they ended up being Excellent! Grading records is very difficult in the sense of one can never see any dust on the grooves that may cause pops. Each individual set ups are different…from turntable, to needle, to amp, to speakers…there are so many variables.

He does not use Goldmine standards on his listings. I could see where that could cause confusion over grading.
So far I’ve been lucky (fingers crossed)…lol.

I was the buyer of the Blue Serge.
As we all know, the nice thing about buying from JRC is that when Fred says its in “excellent” shape, you can rest assured it is…
