Long before the days of iTunes and Spotify, before CDs and even cassettes, humanity’s earliest method for capturing and replaying music was with records. People would purchase or rent large, black discs called vinyl records, which they would mount onto large devices called record players. We might be preaching to the choir here, but so many people have little appreciation for the classic methods of playing the world’s favorite albums. That being said, there are many who put an incredible value into vinyl records, and if you happen to own the following ones, you could earn yourself a tidy sum of cash!
Led Zeppelin, Led Zeppelin (1969)
1969 was a phenomenal time for Led Zeppelin. They were beginning to experiment with other genres, particularly the blues, releasing a compilation of covers of the greats in the moody genre. Today, you would not be disagreed with if you used the word ‘iconic’ when speaking about this record. While some people felt that it was a rather vain work, with Rolling Stone magazine tearing it to shreds, this record struck gold instantly. Ironically, Rolling Stone amended their prior criticism when they put in 29th place on their greatest albums ever made list. Starting price: $1000.

Miles Davis, Kind of Blue (1959)
Miles Davis was one of the leading pioneers in jazz, having turned the genre into what we know it as today. Kind of Blue happened to be his 1959 pièce de résistance, due to his incredible presence as a trumpeter, but also thanks to the inclusion of Paul Chambers, Cannonball Adderley, Bill Evans, Wynton Kelly, Jimmy Cobb, and even John Coltrane. Jazz fans will generally have a small lecture prepared for anyone who asks if they like this record. That, or $1000!
