I was was a collector of Electronic music back in the early 90's ... I am doing a bit of a sorting out of my collection and a starting to list and ripping some of my old albums. It turns out that I have a few gems of value

Executive Steve

Rude And Deadly - Lightnin And Tunda / Mash Dem Down - Unity Records £64.99

would never sell it though...

the first alaska album on vibez isn't even on there - although one guy is selling two plates of a white label copy for £25... all the full release copies got pulped when the distributor went bankrupt, apart from what could be carried out of the warehouse... think i have one of only 250 copies...

I think I win. There's a copy of Coil's Musick to Play in the Dark on there for $500. The version listed is the relatively common version (limited to 100 copies) on blue and green vinyl. Mine's on purple vinyl and limited to 60. I've lots of expensive stuff but it's so rare it's not on discogs.

The record's worth isn't definied by how much somebody has it up for sale for, it's definied by how much somebody actually pays for it, so those Discogs prices would be an inaccurate judge of value.

For example, I could pick any one of my records and place it in the for sale section of Discogs for a million quid, kind of like what those guys are doing. Check Ebay sales figures for a more accurate "price" of a record.

But going by your Discogs method this is my most expensive one probably:

He's right though, it's a bit of a pointless task. The link that the OP posted http://www.discogs.com/sell/list?sort=price,desc shows a price of something like a billion euro for the most expensive track, which just makes a nonsense of it all.

Personally I've got tonnes of vinyl that's worth a fair bit but I'd never sell any of it.

As already said, if you want t get a true reflection of what your records are worth check out Gemm, HTFR, or ebay.

Out of interest I just checked gemm and found that most of my coil collection is going for a lot more than I paid for it (and are similar in most cases to the going rates on ebay)
Black Light District 2LP $175-$209
Horse Rotorvator LP $159
Regular edition of Musick to Play in the Dark Vol. 2 2LP $110 (as I said before, I've the super rare one)
Stolen and Contaminated Songs CD $54
Time Machines CD $180
Unnatural History 1 $77
Winter Solstice 7" $314
Moon's Milk bonus CD-R €261 on ebay

Plus a lot of my Earth, Sunn O))) and related doom metal rareties are worth a pretty penny on ebay.
