Many people use eBay to sell and buy items new and used. It's an excellent way to make money off something that's been sitting around collecting dust or to find something that you've been searching for that is no longer sold in retail stores.
Selling vinyl records on eBay is a big business and you can get in on some of the action, too. It's easy to get started. Just pull out those albums stored in your closet or basement and start going through them to see which ones you're ready to part with.
Once you get a stack of albums ready, here are a few tips for selling vinyl records on eBay to help you get the most from your collection.
· Do some research to determine what is in high demand so you can get an idea of the value of the albums you have.
· Evaluate their condition because this will affect the price as well.
· Set up your account and review the rules so you can compile with them completely. You don't want to get in trouble for breaking the rules.
· List your albums individually with a detailed description. This should include each track and the length of time they play. It should also include the record size, rotation speed and vinyl grade if known.
· Provide a photo of the cover and add this in the description along with any extras that come with the album.
· Give an accurate account of the condition of each album. If it's in excellent condition, that's great and by all means list it as such but if it's in good condition, don't exaggerate. Include any damage to the cover as well if any.
Selling vinyl records on eBay is not difficult but it's important that you know as much about the albums up for sale as you can. This will make it easier for you to set a fair price for the records that you sell. Just because you consider something to be very valuable, doesn't mean that everyone else will.
Value is determined by a variety of things besides the condition of the album. For example, supply and demand plays a major role in how valuable records are. The ones that were mass-produced are not as valuable as the ones that had only a few copies made. The ones recorded on high grade vinyl will also be more valuable than the ones recorded on low grade vinyl. Be aware that records can sell for as little as a $1.00 or they can go for hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
After you gain some experience selling on eBay, you'll pick up a few tips of your own that'll help you along the way. It's a learning process so the more you do it, the easier it'll become. Selling vinyl records on eBay can be quite profitable once you get the hang of it.
