The best place to sell Blues vinyl records are record collectors, antique collectors, auctions and local record stores. If you’re looking to sell your old  Blues vinyl record collection quickly for the most cash, it’s typically better to sell to a record collector or antique collector. They will typically offer more money for your Blues vinyl records than a local record store. If you have time on your hand, you can always auction your Blues vinyl records to the highest bidder.

Your old Blues vinyl record collection’s worth is dependent on the status of your old records. Also, you must take into account the Blues artist, year, title and record condition. Vinyl record grading is important when performing record valuation. 

Play Grading is when you place the vinyl record on a turntable and listen very closely to the sound quality, watch for skipping and other sound defects. Visual Grading is when you use a particular light source at a short distance away from the record as you inspect it. Halogen and direct natural sunlight work best. After your Blues vinyl record is inspected, it will receive a vinyl record grading from Mint condition to poor condition.

You can find out the worth of your Blues vinyl records by searching online, viewing current auction house records or contacting a record collector for vinyl record grading. When your Blues vinyl record is worth money, remember to take into account the state of the record such as play grading. 

The amount your Blues vinyl record is worth depends on several factors like artist, title, year, record scarcity, commercial / promo records, autographed copies and sealed records. For instance, a sealed record could be worth more than a highly played record with poor grading. In fact, sealed unopened Blues records are highly desirable and could earn more money since the records’ state is new. Blues vinyl records that are scarce and harder to find due to limited production also net more money. Is your old Blues record a promotional copy meant for radio station airplay or press? Promotional Blues vinyl records were typically pressed in smaller numbers and could have different versions than what was sold to the public. Your Blues promo record could be worth Top Dollar. Does your Blues record have an artist autograph? Signed artist signatures on the records increase value when they are not personalized
