Counter Clock - Vinyl Record Market News-EBAY

When ebay first opened, vinyl record prices were greatly effected. When vinyl records that were thought to be rare started showing up on ebay, the prices for those vinyl records was influenced. When people started to sell vinyl records on the site, what was once thought to be a rare record, in reality had more copies readily available to the public and influenced the resale price of those specific vinyl records.

Interested in album resale prices and sales from one of the largest retailers on the Interent? Have an old album or a collection to sell? If you choose ebay, you can get an idea of what the market is for vinyl with a great resource called "Counter Clock" which is available at http://ccdiscoveries.blogspot.com/


Here is a sample of the information available to you from the site:
