# Appraise a Vinyl Collection

Whether you are insuring a collection, preparing for a sale, or just curious what the shelves are worth, you need current market data for each title. Guessing from memory or old price guides leaves money on the table or inflates expectations.

Record Collector can pull collection-level value estimates, look up individual price guides, and search releases to fill gaps. Feed it a list of titles, catalog numbers, or even a rough inventory, and it returns per-record valuations you can cross-check against live market conditions.

**Tool:** [Record Collector](https://toolrouter.com/tools/record-collector)
**Skills:** collection_value, price_guide, search_releases
