About Price Guide

beatles

You can expect the prices for the items listed below if you are selling privately. If you sell to a dealer or shop expect less than half of the prices listed below.

All prices are on the basis that the item is in mint condition.

All items UK releases unless stated.

List also includes CDs, & 12"s.

Prices are in UK sterling and US dollars.

It's one of the great myths that anything with the name 'The Beatles' stamped on it is instantly worth a great deal of money. Of course they are the most collectable band ever but it is certain things that are worth money; the Beatles connection alone will not make something worth money or not. To those just starting their collections then it is worth investing in the book The Official Price Guide to the Beatles Records and Memorabilia. Though published in the mid-1990s it does give you a feel for what is collectable. Also track certain items on auction sites like ebay to give you an instant valuation on what people are paying for certain items. Remember though to look at the final price and not what a dealer prices something at as that might just be wishful thinking.

The price guide below gives you an estimate of the price an item has achieved. It should be used as a staring point; doing your own leg work on specific items is unavoidable.

The guide wil help you tell the difference between re - releases as that usually has an impact on prices.

The price guide is growing all the time so if you would like to add to it please e-mail me here. I would also like to add solo stuff so if you would like to share your valuation on any items just include artist, type of record/cd/memorabilia etc and, if possible, year and country of release. I will then add it here.

Happy collecting.
