Q. How are vinyl record prices determined?

  • A very common question asks is "What are my records worth"? Unfortunately establishing vinyl value is not an exact science. There are numerous factors that are used when pricing vinyl. Some of those factors include the age of the record and who the artist is, how scarce is the record, is the record sealed- autographed-or promotional, the record label and variations, and the quality or record (stereo, mono, quadraphonic, etc.), is the record a picture discs or colored vinyl, is the record limited-foreign-or withdrawn releases, is there a re-issues and the condition of the record-sleeve-jacket are just a few factors in determining vinyl pricing. For more information on how vinyl record prices are determined, we suggest visiting rarerecords.net (no affiliation to InsaneVinyl.com)

Q. What if there are multiple artists with the same name? 

  • When there are multiple artists such as the Four Mints, all artists share the same page (i.e. Four Mints (1), Four Mints (2), etc.)

Q. Do you only show the value of 12" vinyl (LPs)

  • When we originally started, we only concentrated on 12" vinyl LPs. The demand was very high for other types of vinyl. Moving forward, we catalog Single 12-inch, Singles: 78 rpm, Singles: 7-inch, Picture Sleeves, EPs" 7-inch, LPs: 10 & 12 inch, Flex-Discs, and promotional items. We continually add other vinyl as indicated above to our existing catalog. Don't see other vinyl when viewing your artist? Drop us a note and we will expedite the addition.

Q. Are these the prices I should use when selling on e-Bay?

  • Depends on the vinyl. Records artists such as Elvis Presley or the Beatles might fetch our vinyl worth; however, we recommend selling what other sellers are asking. Remember, this is only what the value of the record is worth, not necessarily what you might receive.

Q. What is the easiest way to search?

  • You only see the search bar as a member. For non-members, use the .pdf listing. For members, we recommend using the search bar feature as there are thousands of artists. If you don't know the artist's name, you can try the label, label number, or name of the song. For search engine word reduction, we remove the word 'the' (i.e. instead of Little Anthony and the Imperials, we list it as Little Anthony & Imperials". Of course, there is always the site map for members should you wish to scroll through our listed artists. Remember we update with new artists weekly.

Q. What if I can't find my artists?

  • There are hundreds of thousands of artists....we add more weekly. We suggest dropping us a note so we can expedite your request. We will send you an email when cataloged. Here is the link 'contact us' or email us at admin@insanerecords.rocks. Should we find your artist, our turn-around time to post is usually within a day or two and we will send you an email when posted.

Q. How do you know the condition of what others might see when selling my vinyl?

  • There are standards of grading vinyl....please check our grading guide

Q. Do you catalog various albums and soundtracks?

  • That's on our bucket list....someday soon! If you need a value on one of these types of vinyl drop us a note and we'll check on it for you.

Q. Most bands that start the word 'the' such as The Beatles, The Byrds, and The Beach Boys. Should I use this prefix when searching?

  • No, for the sake of unity, we do not put 'the' in front of bands unless it makes sense such as artists like The Fool, The Band, etc. In some cases, there are 2 distinct groups such as Fox and The Fox. The easiest way is to just type in the artist without 'The' and let the search engine work for you! Other times you may not know the exact title of the artist such as Frankie & the Corvettes....you can try a search for just the Corvettes until you come across the one you're looking for.
