If you are a vinyl collector who can
pay infinite amounts of cash for purchasing vinyl records on any
suggested price, this article is not for you. However, if you read it,
you may change your heart about the way you have been obtaining vinyl
records until today.
As the real joy of a collector is to
not only find a rare record that he has been looking desperately, but
also to find it on a good price, there is a tried and tested way of
getting your hands on vinyl records on a budget.
That way is....Trades!!!.
With trading you will be able to obtain vinyl records of significant
value, having spended less money than you should. Read how:
- You have to delve deep in the vinyl record market
Get informed, read, search and always
be up to date of the current prices of vinyl records, even for the
records that do not belong in the genre or subgenre that you like. We
are not saying you should know the current price of latin music records
while you listen to Grindcore, for example, but you could easily, for a
start, get informed about relative genres or subgenres. That will
greatly broaden your knowledge and you know what they say; knowledge is
power.
There are plenty of sites from where you could find helpful insight and information. You can find some of them in the free e-book that is available for download on e-Record Fair, titled:Top Websites, Blogs, FB Groups & Forums about Vinyl Records.
Moreover, right here on the blog of e-Record Fair there is a seperate category (Some of the most expensive Vinyl Records ever sold...),
which, as the time passes, will be filled with more and more
information and you will be able to have a consolidated view of the
prices of the most important vinyl records that have been sold from time
to time.
- How do we find vinyl records to trade:
Unused Vinyl Records
One initial source of trading could be
unused vinyl records you do not want anymore. By trading those, you can
get records that interest you more.
Mass Purchases
Buy vinyl records from people that want
to get rid of their whole vinyl collections in low prices. You can find
vinyl records that you like and keep them for your collection and those
which you don't like, you can trade them. ONE USEFUL TIP. Before you
trade said records, find time and listen to them. You may find some that
you like and possibly keep them.
Buy double or triple copies
If a certain release is a limited
edition and is a musically good record, buy some copies and store them.
It is given that, after a few years, their value will multiply. After
only 7 years, a vinyl record that cost 25 euros to buy, might cost 100
euros now and be a valuable item for trading. You should mainly buy
first press vinyl records (not re-releases) which, as we mentioned,
should have an artistic value, although some times this is not
necessary. Essentially, this is an investment which will bring profit in
the future.
- Who to trade with
- With your Vinyl collector friends
You can trade with your friends and any vinyl collector you meet in your daily routine
- Collector Forums
On the e-Record Fair free e-book, you can find many forums and FB groups, in which many collectors trade vinyl records, CDs etc.
- With other e-Record Fair Marketplace users
On e-Record Fair Marketplace, we have
incorporated a tool-procedure which helps anyone who is interested in,
outside of selling, also trading vinyl records, CDs etc. with
registered users of the marketplace from all over the world. The process
is carried through feedback exchanges, for more user reliability and
credibility.
Already, as we speak, there are a few thousand suggested items for trading. Here you can read how to make safe trades through e-Record Fair.
