Over the last 5 years, I've noticed the sale prices of LPs on Ebay rising, but as recent as 2021, the average price at estate sales was still 1 or 2 dollars. This all changed in 2022. Prices of $5 and $10 an LP is now standard and the new price increases seem to be warranted as these records are selling. I was at a recent sale where over 1000 albums were being sold at a price of $10 each. I got there early but only found one lp worth buying. There were many folks who bought 20 to 50 records, and these were not valuable items. Lots of compilations, comedy lps, 1980s rock, disco, Sinatra, Mathis, some A&M (TJB, Brasil 66). While some of this is great music, none of it is that collectable. For those of you who go to estate sales, or go through the bins at used record stores, have you found prices in used LPs to be rising greatly over the last year?
