I entered my collection on discogs. Does it list value somewhere? I want to know how much I've blown on records.

Found it. Not really as high of a number for the total collection as I was expecting. I have a copy of Bloom by Beach House that is valued at $350. That's the most valuable record I own according to this.

That's pretty rad. I have a median collection value of over $17,000 ($27,000 max) with no idea how much I spent on it originally. Looking at my top 25, though, I think I only overpaid for 3 of them. I try not to think about value unless I'm trading something, though, because I buy to listen.

Same median for me. I've been selling a lot of high valued records lately though that I don't really listen too, came down from about 22k median 2 weeks ago.

Yeah I'm not interested in selling stuff either. I only got on discogs because I was buying a grateful dead LP from the marketplace and got bored enough to enter in my collection.

In honor of going to Bryan Ferry later this month I bought the Roxy Music collection. It's great. Some music is better on vinyl because it forces you to slow down and is a little more interactive. Roxy Music falls under that category. It's so seductive.

Anyone have a good quality 7" copy of Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" they'd like to sell me? I'm having trouble finding it in a record shop and this could be RM's way of wishing us love and happiness on our wedding day. It's going to be our first dance.

Try Discogs. My wife framed a 7'' of our first song and gave it to me as a wedding gift.

Awesome idea. What was the song?

"Nothing Can Change This Love" by Sam Cooke. This is sort of a crummy photograph (and I needed to straighten it after), but you get the idea:

I like the way it's matted with that black border, too. Good gift and song.

I think she just ordered the frame from Amazon if you're interested: https://www.amazon.com/Single-Vinyl-Rec ... B001THFB7U

check ebay too. there seems to be a lot of different versions, not sure if you're looking for a specific one

Not looking for a rare copy or anything, but we both want it to have a better story than "bought it on eBay", you know? We have, however, set a deadline for ourselves. If we don't chance across a copy before we're a month out from the big day, we'll have to internet shop.

hmm. if you have any flea markets, garage sales, etc around you, that might help. what state are you in? there could be a record show some time soon
