Search across marketplaces to find a specific pressing or edition currently listed for sale and compare prices. Use `market_search`, `marketplace_listings`, and `price_guide` to cover the ground. ChatGPT is a good fit when you want a clean comparison table and a clear recommendation you can act on immediately.

Steps

Once connected (see setup above), use the Record Collector tool:

  1. Describe the exact pressing you want: artist, title, label, catalog number, country, year, and your condition and budget preferences.
  2. Use `record-collector` to run `market_search`, `marketplace_listings`, and `price_guide` to find and evaluate available copies.
  3. Have ChatGPT create a comparison table with price, condition, seller, shipping, and a value rating for each listing.
  4. Pick the best option from the table or ask for alerts on listings that meet your criteria.

Example Prompt

Try this with ChatGPT using the Record Collector tool
Use record-collector to find an original UK pressing of Radiohead's OK Computer, Parlophone NODATA 02. Run market_search, marketplace_listings, and price_guide. Give me a comparison table of available copies ranked by value.

Tips

  • Always include the catalog number to filter the search to the exact pressing you want.
  • Ask ChatGPT to highlight any listing that looks suspiciously cheap or where the edition description seems off.
