Records & music
Simon and Garfunkel Greatest Hits vinyl LP, Columbia
This is one of the best-selling compilations of the era, so it is common and cheap, but a clean copy still sells to someone rebuilding a 1970s collection. Value depends on the pressing, whether the original inner sleeve is there, and how much surface noise the record has.
Estimated resale range (used)
$5 – $18
A ballpark, not a quote. Condition moves this number a lot, and so does who turns up to buy it. It isn't an appraisal and it isn't a dealer's offer.

What matters when you check it
- Hold the record at an angle in good light and check for scuffs and scratches, especially across the first track of each side
- Confirm the catalog number on the spine and label matches, and note whether it is an early pressing or a later reissue
- Check the sleeve for split seams, ring wear and water damage, and see whether the original inner sleeve is present
Where the number comes from
Watching what these go for, not a record of sales. The range is a judgement call from what the same thing fetches secondhand. When an item has real sources behind it, they'll be printed here with the date they were checked.
Before you sell anything, look at sold prices rather than asking prices. Asking prices are wishes; sold prices are evidence.
