HUGE 1500 RECORD HAUL

bought somewhere around 1500 records from a guy on craigslist. Here i go through the better records of the lot.

[@lukashislop5890]

Jay Tee well is looks like most of them are barely good condition

[@elliottcrews4997]

@@lukashislop5890 It is hard to know the actual condition of the vinyl itself. They will certainly need a good clean and vacuum but unless there are deep scratches that should eliminate most of the pops and crackles. The condition of the jackets are certainly another matter, but if half of them clean up well then they should be $1-3 records. That would be maybe a long term $1,000 to $1,500 profit.

[@TheSRamos03]

@@elliottcrews4997 how would someone clean a jacket like that though? I mean the vinyl itself is pretty easy but once the jacket is in this condition, I don’t think there is truly a way to clean them up. I was just wondering your take on it?

[@elliottcrews4997]

@@TheSRamos03 There isn't much you can do. Wiping with a baby wipe to get mold and dirt off helps. Clear tape to repair seam splits. I wouldn't use the clear tape on valuable records, there are better more time consuming ways to repair splits but for these records it wouldn't be worth it. Put the record in a new poly inner sleeve and put the whole thing in a new poly outer sleeve and you've done all you need and can practically do. There are lots of people that aren't too concerned about the jacket when they can get an album that might sale at a record shop with a good condition cover for $10-15 and they can get it for $5 or less if the vinyl condition is just as good.

[@DelayedJet]

I'd say that's pretty damn worthwhile. I mean, to me, the idea of getting all that music (especially for what you paid) is pretty mind-blowing. It'd take you absolutely forever to get through all that, and you might end up discovering something you like. Quite priceless when you think of it like that.

[@milketcow]

All that for $250 is definitely worth it. Nothing extremely rare but definitely some good stuff in there. Lots of duplicates in there so you could sell the worse quality ones and definitely make some revenue off of it.

This is so satisfying to watch because you feel like you're at a garage sale or something going through the records and every time you see something you like you get that fantastic feeling only record hunting can give. I don't know why I enjoy it so much considering I'm not getting a single one but it's really fun lol.

[@jacobtranter3072]

Something worth noting is that the original owner seemed to be a big Beatles fan (had a lot of solo records, a cover record I believe?) but there was no Abbey Road, White, Sgt Peppers, Revolver, etc. which leads me to believe this was already somewhat skimmed through, but obviously not super well. Even if half those records are unplayable, it's worth it imo. Has nearly all the classics.

[@paulmorris9023]

Rolling Stones - Some Girls (2:18) has the original cover before Rachel Welch & Lucille Ball's images were removed. Later editions had coloured blanks in their place. The album is great and that cover makes it a keeper. Hope all those albums aren't warped or nicked.

[@MeanMrMayo]

Wow, there are obviously a ton of great titles in this batch. I guess it all comes down to what type of collector you are. For me, the condition is too rough in many cases -- however, for purposes of having them to listen to as a warm-up, to later replace with better copies in some cases, this was quite a score.

[@KevinKohlhase]

Covers for me are as important as how the vinyl is.

[@tverehol]

You did very well here for $250. As i always say when buying a lot like this, even if you sold the ones you didn't want for $1, you're still making a nice profit.

I'm sure pretty much everyone would like a good cover with their vinyl but there are people that can just enjoy the record regardless.. I'm sure he is looking to get rid of alot of these, its not like he is gonna replace all of these with a good condition replacement, but people still do want them.. Let people do shit their own way...

[@mangekyou10sharingan]

Benjamin Barrer I agree with you, Benjamin. I have a little collection (around 80 records) and when I buy something I care more about the disc itself. Maybe I'm not a good collector, I just enjoy the music

[@RumbleFish69]

You did great! A couple of things to consider here...first, no matter what you got, it's all about condition. So, hopefully, they're in good shape. However, most important to consider is the number of duplicates, triplicates and beyond that you have! Those additional records, will allow you to make some of that money back, or get trade credit for records that you really​ want at the record store! Hell yes, you did great!

[@missqueenieful]

some of the early 1960s ones are quite rare. You did well

Has It got "Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft" on It?. 5:09 If You are In the UK You would Burn This One. 5:26 Pity this Is not the CD Version. 9:21 This one Is very nice, and not many around.

I would have to say for $250 that is literally one of the best deals I’ve seen like ever. As long as there not warped in a terrible way from being stacked like they were, there’s a lot of “doubles” of albums that I wish I had or only have seen once but was unplayable

[@GrumpyOldVinyl]

That's really awesome man! These kind of scores are the reason to own a wagon :) Last autumn I scored 800 records for 100$, it definitely didn't have that many awesome albums as your pile tho!

[@florinip]

Totally worth it. Just the original Rolling Stones real-zipper album (Sticky Fingers) is worth about £30-40 (that's what I paid for it in Romania at a flea market) in very good condition (which yours seems to be in at a first glance). Plus that a lot of them are original pressings like Dylan, Neil Young, Zeppelin or Pink Floyd, which are worth a pretty penny as well. I think these are worth 10 times what you paid for them (at least) if sold individually.

[@greattunesking1]

Hello Don. I have been a record collector for 43 years now. Sold almost all of my vinyl records like the ones you have there in 1984 in Seattle, Wash. I had over 3,000. I got 12,000. But, All of my albums were bought back in the day. They had the original everything. If your covers are shot, And your records and liners are mint, Then you need to find the original mint cover and match them back up. Also, Did any of your albums Like you copies of Bob Dylans Gearest Hits Volume One have the original Poster inside? You hit the jackpot on those. If they are perfect, You can easily get $20.00 a pop. I see other gems in there. Your a young guy and very smart as far as creating a very smart investment. If you keep doing it, You can make a good living. Don't plan on getting married anytime soon until you have a major talk to your girlfriend who you might marry. What does that have to do with anything? Females become very annoyed about the husband having too many albums? Why? I could give you many reasons. Jealousy is one reason. Another is they feel that over time you might need more room and the more you buy the more room you need. The list goes on. Trust me on these issues. I am 64 and I have lived here a while. Or, You could say it is just my experience. Anyway, Continue your record buying. Your doing the right thing. People will laugh at you and tell you your crazy. I did exactly what your doing when I was 18 years old in the late 60's. Trust me, You learn as you go. If you did find posters in any of those albums you did really good my friend. And for a quarter each you cannot lose. All the best. Larry.

[@dixielandfarm]

[@retromania8269]

I see a lot of people complaining about the condition of the covers. Who cares as long as the record plays fine! I mean isn't the point of vinyl to listen to the music and not just look at it. lol. I just don't understand all these people that have to have the records and covers in mint shape or not at all. And what about these people who buy new albums and never open them. What is the point of that? A vinyl album is meant to be enjoyed. It seems like a lot of people are collecting just for the sake of collecting. It's not even about the music with a lot of people in these comments.. Smh.

[@greenbile1960]

You are right, the vinyl and the music is what matters most. That's what we listen to. The covers on these records don't matter because there are no collectors items or limited editions really. The more rare and limited though the better to have the jackets in good condition. No corner dings or seam splits or ring wear. Some people do collect to have a collection in good condition and worth money.

[@neuroisis85]

I totally agree! People like that get on my nerves. I buy vinyl to play it who cares if the cover is junked up.

[@Slowhanfan]

Man, if the condition of the covers were better then you would have made the haul of the century. Just hope the condition of the records are decent. My rule for a haul is if the price is $250, there have to be 250 records I would actually want to buy. I would have made that deal. Congrats!

[@ucbookman]

Congrats! But...damn. Those albums look like they just got back from the Vietnam war. :D

[@patrickburke8351]

After the first stack I knew you made a great deal and the second was almost just as good. The third stack is so so and the fourth stack was alright . It was defiantly worth it, I've already spent about $120 on just 5 records that you found in the first stack. Good buy kid.

[@deeg8849]

Be careful not to over pay building a collection. Takes more new enthuists out then anything. Much more pleasure finding 1) albums you love and will play in 2) the discount bin at a price that your proud of. Patience is critical and a part of the process. (cause patience is the only way to describe someone willing to play and store vinyl)

[@dawnpatrol700]

Yeah, depending on condition. Assuming they were VG+ or better. If they were scratched, not. Some had some rips on the covers, but there were tons of duplicates, so you could probably piece together one good copy of each

[@selahchunem8447]

I'M 71 and all those albums at one time I own as well as friends. I then sold, donated, or threw out only to reach recollect some again several times. Thus many classic gems for your age! One of my favorite was The Twelve Rooms of Doctor Sardonitus by Spirit. When I was a hippie both I and 2 friends were escorted into their dressing room before a Florida concert while we were high as a kite. They recognized it since we accidently walked into their dressing room.They instructed their stage hand to take these guys up to the front of the audience. Historical but also shameful compare to my present life. Thanks for sharing

[@markbeauchamp7207]

There are lots of good titles, some not so good, but that's usually the case with big lot buys like this. The jackets look okay but they're not pristine which is what a lot of collectors want. Splits on the seam and noticeable wear and tear will only devalue. The most important thing is: How do the records themselves look? Scratches? Dirty? And how do they sound? You need to test play a lot of them (the first few seconds is an indicator) and listen for static, pops, clicks, skips, etc. If all of the above is present then you didn't make such a great deal. If they're pretty clean looking AND sound good then you probably did okay. It depends on where you plan to market them. Usually, swap meet LP's like that go for around $1 - $2 each. Yard sale, even less. Good luck, Don.

[@TheLiquidSunshineBand]

You got alot of really great finds I would say it was worth it,sure some are not in the best shape but they all were great albums. I think that was a score!

[@scottfox5270]

You did great and not so great because some albums cover where not in great condition and I’m always looking for great condition one.-Retro: Scott Fox Ps. How much did you pay for this collection?

[@theTORTUGAZUL]

That is one thing I do not like about watching videos on record hauls. If you have a bunch of great titles, but in horrible condition, they are as good as garbage. I don't get all excited just based on the covers.

[@henrys3629]

We cannot afford mint copies like some people. I bought some very poor records for 50c ea. which would otherwise have cost me 100's of dollars.

[@prodigalsun1678]

Personally I dont mind I actually like the variety between having some garbage condition records and some pristine ones and some eh ones ya know? As long as a record can play even with a few easily manageable skips I'm happy. Record pops and skips and fuzz is all kind of part of the experience

[@theunlawfulsponge5908]

Most of the records in my collection look like they've sat in the basement of an abandoned house for 50+ years but the only reason i'll get rid of them is if i get an upgrade copy, but if not and the record plays good enough i got no reason to trash it

[@Henyo1070]

As long as those records work, it looks like a decent set to me. Some of that stuff I would want in my collection too. I notice a lot of similar records though.

[@hasekdom]

The Johnny Cash album Bitter tears at 5:34 is a true gem. One of his best albums and a record I wouldlove to have on vinyl. If the condition i good then that is one record you should cherish.

[@TorontoJon]

$250 for 1,000 records, i.e. 25 cents per record, is not a bad deal at all and it would take you years to amass that many vintage rock records if you visited thrift stores and Goodwill stores on a regular basis and you would have to pay $1 to $2 or more per album, not to mention how much it would cost if you purchased albums individually online through Ebay, etc. and had to add shipping costs to the total cost, so I think you did pretty well overall. However, a lot of the album covers are very rough, torn, moldy, and with ring wear, etc. which definitely diminishes the value significantly so one can only hope that the vinyl inside is in much better shape (often not in my experience, but one can be pleasantly surprised now and then). In any case, you got a great sample of records from a single purchase, so enjoy them! :)

[@kekambas79]

Yup! Worth the money and good you were able to talk him down to $250 for the duplicates received! Wish I had that collection!

[@lisaarnold9925]

I literally LLLOOOOOVE ur taste in music

[@bettychen2326]

First you have to answer the questions: Are these just for my personal use, or are they to be used as an investment, for sale later. Only you can answer the first question. There are so many records, of course they easily could be worth $250. But, you need to factor in the amount of hours you will spend cleaning the records and putting in better sleeves. As an investment, the albums look only in fair to good condition. I would say that a record needs to be in Mint condition today if it has any real investment value. You will need to store the record carefully, clean, remove static, etc. Just testing these records to determine their value (scratches, warp, playability, sound quality, pressing, age) will require many hours: you need to play them in order to determine their correct condition for investment purposes. Basically, you need to assign a value to your time. Your expenditure of time and energy in cleaning up and testing the records is probably far larger than the mere $250 you spent. But for most of us, we are just Vinyl-holics. Hey, the albums are beautiful, never to be replicated. They remind you of a by-gone era, in a way that CDs never will or could. And going forward, it will all be on a zip drive, smaller than your finger. Not much to see, feel and touch. Although the album covers look only in fair condition, a few of the records could be in mint or mint- condition. If so, they could have some value. But for those of us who are vinyl collectors, it is not really the economic value that counts. Did you not love just fingering through all of those great albums, those albums that reminded you of the past, of an era that once was, a great era of music that far excels the "stuff" you hear today?

[@timolson5419]

I guy that I work with is selling his albums he has about he said 2900 of them and he is selling them all. He said they range from R&B to 50's 60,70, 80 big band area to German folk songs to Norwegian folk songs and so on he said so it's going to take me a little time .

[@deadwaxrecords5253]

Not at all.

[@turntablesrockmyworld9315]

Dear Millenial, there is a reason why those records were still sitting on Craigslist, because no serious collector would buy most of those semi-common records in the shape they are in. And yes, covers matter to any serious record collector. Covers are only are reduced in significance if they are very rare and sought after records with the covers in any condition. But I will say this, if you are just buying them to listen to the music on your new Crosley sipping a Pabst, then enjoy them! They'll give you hours of pleasure and a great way to discover new music! But from a collecting standpoint (not only of the music, but of the product) I would carefully choose the ones you enjoy in at least VG+ condition and sell the rest as a collection to someone on a limited budget who wants to get into listening to music on vinyl. I've been collecting since the mid 1980s but have slowed down significantly now. But for $250 that is worth it, in my opinion, just to expose your ears to some good music. But 1500 takes up a LOT of room for ragged, low value records, I would keep about 100 and flip the rest.

[@newdomtanner]

New to your channel, BUT, as a collector.....I think you scored!! If these are playable @ VG condition, then they're treasues. Just take a cleaning wipe to the covers, slip them in plastic sleeves, and they'll look good. Envious, great find.

[@StackProductionsBV]

It surprises me that you rarely see AC/DC records in these kind of videos. Probably those are the ones that everyone holds on to. Considering they've sold over 200 million records with some 70 million in the US alone.

[@garyscarpulla100]

You definitely got your money's worth. Shame about the trashed covers but with all the duplicates you have you might be able to Frankenstein a clean version if the cover matches the pressing. All in all a good score just with the Zep, Stones, Dylan and Sabbath. Obviously hard to tell but if the vinyl is in at least VG+ on the cleaner ones it's a major haul. Man, you've got some records to clean.

[@beardedjazzman1234]

Hi man! In my opinion, i think you are do a right thing. 1500 for 250 are a good deal. If you just listen a 80% of all that vinyl's, are even more great. I'm from Europe, Serbia (there is no war at Balkan, 24 years and more, dont worry :D ), and I must say some vinyls there (Eric Clapton - Slowhand, The Who - Whos next, Canned heat...) they are no less then 23-24 dollars each, in second hand condition. So, i like your videos, there are so so cool music, my dream is to come to America to shop a little, LP's especially. :D

[@cpmproductionsltd8305]

Since you asked, my opinion is like a lot of the comments. I buy for the music, if the record is in good condition, that's fine, if the cover is good too, that's a bonus. A bit of glue and a new inner can do wonders. Since your video is now three years old I guess you've done things with them. With so many double- triple- quadruples you may have even got a few bucks back.

I would pay $250 any day.....2 thumbs up.

[@hootenhtn]

If that Monkees 1st album says "Papa Jean's Blues" on the front, that is a 1st press misprint, which could also fetch a bit of $$$. The error was quickly corrected to the correct spelling of "Papa Gene's Blues."

[@JWD1992]

Nailed it. Yes, there are some with knackered jackets, but it seems like most of them are less-desirable titles anyway. Unless the discs are all trashed, this was a bargain, especially with record prices where they are eight years later. The only thing that concerns me is the duplicates. My thought when I see four copies of Zeppelin IV is that he played it so much that he wore out the first three copies. Any truth to that?

[@gavinjohnson8951]

Depends on the condition of the vinyl and whether they're first pressings. If the Led Zeppelin have no significant scratches and are on the Atlantic plump coloured label opposed to the green label you've hit the jackpot with those alone.

[@MrDaiseymay]

Surely, it depends on Condition. The cover's are a clue to how they've been handled, and the playing condition. They look rough to me.

[@alanarmstrong3230]

Don- I believe you made out. Granted a lot of the albums are in rough shape, but there was enough there, that if you sold them off individually, there's no doubt you would come out ahead.

[@phnigra111]

Based on the condition of the record covers, do we really expect the vinyl inside to be in pristine condition? Then again, if you're happy.. thats all that matters

[@runesanimemusicmoviecorner6432]

Just off the 1st stack alone you can make your money back. I'm sure you did and still have great albums. Totally worth it.

[@Duckpunkdisease]

It gives a relaxing feeling watching this. I feel so peaceful now.

[@WarpedRecord]

What kind of shape is the vinyl in? If these are mostly playable, it’s very much worth it. About a quarter of these are good finds, and maybe 10% are great finds if the insides are intact. Most of the covers are in pretty bad shape; it looks like there was mold or water damage. But a lot of these look like gatefold covers and early editions. Separate out the duplicates, and give them to me. ;-)

That's a quality find and wow would love to get diggin in to that lot . But i have found in even my own collection i buy or have 3 or 4 copy's of a record that gets played as it might have been the party or even part of the night and gets played all the time by un-vinyl careing music loving people . Anyway thank you for posting , x

Back in the day, when cassettes were king, I used to make mix tapes. Those LPs would have been gold.. I mean *GOLD* All that music as a source, I could have spent weeks making specialty mix tapes. You scored big time... now... get an awesome record cleaning apparatus and you'll be set. *CLEAN THOSE GEMS* Plus, I was hoping to see a copy of "Captain Beyond" but, no go...

There's a movie/documentary out there titled "When Albums Ruled the World". It brings so much relevance to some of the music you've got there.

Is that Stevie Griffin's nightmarish cover at 2:22 ? 😂 Now seriously, do you have any original Cast or Studio Cast Albums in your collection? If so can you give titles?

If you love music, you hit a home run. If you bought them to sell them....it is hard to say. Serious record buyers want there Lp's as close to near mint as possible unless the record is incredibly rare. In general, they also prefer 1st pressing over later pressings. An example I like to give is a Beatles Lp on Vee-Jay called "Jolly What", on Stereo. Even though rare(I believe less than 3,000 were pressed), I could only get $50 for a Vg+ example. When I sold my near mint stereo copy, I got $500 bucks for the same record. Elvis records are dying out as collectors are drying up (except TrueType rare pieces. You could have some rare lp's, buy a book and look them up (Dylan and Hendrix to name a few). Why not show the 45's??

OMG you do have some awesome vinyls. Are they playable without scratches and loud pops. The first stack you showed was a great bunch. I myself have at least 2000 and they are in excellent condition. Well I have a "Deep Purple, Smoke on the water", original with scratches. Do you have a turntable and receiver and speakers to play them? I saw where you have "Wooly Bully", love that song. I think you did good it just depends what you are going to do with them. Are they for your enjoyment or to sell?

[@dodgert1234]

Big question ! How many didn’t you have and what was the quality of those ? If 10% were ok that makes 100 records at $250 equate to $2.50 each ... That’s a good buy

[@renevw5812]

Whaat, how. Really if those records are VG/VG+ rate, fantastic deal. yeah covers are a bit poor rating. But if the records are a good quality, whooh man amazing deal. i would buy like 80% of all those albums.
