trance vinyl: will it be worth anything?

I've got a couple of crates of records that will probably never see a turntable again.

Records from the 60s/70s/80s and 90s can be worth a lot, or nothing at all.

So, all those anthems from ca. 2000, are they worth anything now, or will they be in the future? How does one ascertain whether a record is worth hanging on to, or selling now before it becomes valueless?

Most of my records are from 2003/2004. I need cash for my trip coming up (student stipend just doesn't cut it), but I don't know if it's worth the bother to get rid of some records now?

For example: Items like the Xpander EP and original of Lost Tribe - Gamemaster seem to have value still, but will they be worth more or less in the future?

Seems like noone will care about vinyl in 5-10 years time?

put up a list anyway. im curious what cheesy anthems of goodness grumbles has tucked away!

Yer, I'll start looking tonight. But I want to know what is worth selling and what is worth hanging on to.

Posted by pkcRAISTLIN on Sep-08-2009 03:02:

anything that i want will be worth selling!

don't know how old this list is, but I think most of these should be still in the crates.

Just search my posts pre 2004 dude I was a massive trance fan.

some of it will - pretty much a bit of a guessing game as to which ones tho i reckon.

gumble likes teh ghey tranz0rs!

I honestly don't think they hold their value because they were released in such numbers, I picked up Xpander for 20 bucks of ebay , brand new pretty much no scratches. I think old school prog retains value more because those that have them dont give them up, strictly speaking trance from the 90s should be worth a bit. ie. Melt - Be Liquid... which I got for 10 bucks

they will always hold their value to the right buyer, you can't objectively say that they won't.

i've got all the gatecrasher vinyl samplers with sexy covers along with digweed destinations all brand new, i'm sure they'll be worth a shit load in the future - i'm a collector, i pay for scarcity and must haves.

the digital age has/will erode that away completely.

thought about this recently... a mate asked me about buying my turnies and i thought "but then i wont be able to play my vinyl" ...... which i haven't properly touched in years... 700+ trance & some cheesy commercial electro haus vinyls and i'll probably never touch them again...

...so why hold onto em? because they represent massive awesome memories for me.. they're like an audio photobook of memories that i can't give up

but if i wanna part with em for some extra cash i wonder how much, if anything, they'll be worth down the track...

i still like the idea of being in my later life and putting on my old trance vinyls and remembering what the sound was like way back when ...i wonder what trance will sound like around that time compared to what i experienced...

Brainbug - Nightmare

Easily one of the best music vids out there, too.

itll just be a series of frequencies that produce physical responses in your body. Ie - tune called peanut butter and jam - tune is one buzzy note that makes you taste peanut butter and jam sandwhiches while you listen to it.

on a side note - drugs will be mad - just plug into the back of your head and away you go - when your sick of it - unplug and back to normal - no damage done!

Still working out the best way to do it.

Just reading what you type sometimes is like being on drugs

That explains all the fire trucks I heard the other day.

@Fledz: Xpander is Sasha, and you don't like Sasha?

@Gumble: If you want to make the most money out of it, Ebay would be the best way to go, individual sales starting at 5ish dollars usually works.

He's free to like Xpander even if he doesn't like Sasha's stuff these days.. whats the problem?

There's plenty of artists who I might just like 1 or 2 tracks from.

This is a long story dating back to a different forum, not for people in general :P I don't like his new sets that much either now - his choons, ie. Invol2ver, are still mad imo though.

Posted by Aesthetic on Sep-12-2009 00:24:
