How much is my vinyl collection worth?

If you typed what you paid, that figure counts, including zero if the record was a gift. Otherwise ViniVault looks for a middle asking price on Discogs across Very Good, Very Good Plus, and Near Mint copies, not the cheapest listing.

When Discogs has nothing usable, recent sold prices for that album on vinyl can fill the gap from eBay. A record with no price stays out of the total, and the count tells you so. A partial total should look like a partial total.

Worth, said of a whole shelf, is not a dealer offer and not an insured sum. It is a way to see the collection in pounds, with a method you can explain. Shops buy stock. Insurers have their own rules. The guide is for you.

A shelf of 200 records with 40 prices is not 'worth' the sum of those 40. The line that says how many are included is part of the answer. Wait while prices are still being looked up. The total moves as figures come in.

Common reissues of famous albums are often worth less than people expect. Odd singles and original pressings are often worth a closer look. The total will not tell you that on its own. Scarcest on the shelf is the place to start that look.

Open Statistics after the records are catalogued. The collection value line shows the total and how many records are in it. Type a price on any copy where you want your own figure to win.

The wishlist is not included. Wanted records are not owned, so they are not part of what the shelf is worth.
