Valuing LPs

Cannyshopper

I work in a charity shop and we've been donated some Beatles LPs. Does anyone know the best place for valuations or to sell them? We are based in West Wales.

Many thanks.

Try looking on eBay, see what prices are being asked. If you are a member (easy to join if you're not) you can also check actual sold prices. The older the pressing, the more valuable they're likely to be.

EBay or specialist auction may be best places to sell if they are worth a lot of money.

Amazon is a good place to check out Beatles albums prices, for example http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sgt-Peppers-Lonely-Hearts-Club/dp/B000002UAU

but that's (mostly) what the currently available cds are being sold for - not what the old LPs are worth.

eta:
OP - there's some very good advice, re valuing and the importance of grading / not pricing items at the mint/new price if they're not in Mint condition, in your other thread.
