Steps
Once connected (see setup above), use the Record Collector tool:
- Specify exactly what you are looking for: artist, title, pressing details (label, catalog number, country, year), preferred condition, and your maximum budget.
- Use `record-collector` to run `market_search` for broad marketplace coverage, `marketplace_listings` for specific listing details, and `price_guide` to benchmark the asking prices.
- Ask Claude to rank the available copies by value: consider price, condition, seller reputation, and shipping logistics.
- Use the ranked comparison to make your purchase decision or set up alerts for better copies.
Example Prompt
Try this with Claude using the Record Collector tool
Use record-collector to find an original UK pressing of Radiohead's OK Computer on Parlophone, catalog NODATA 02. Run market_search to find copies currently for sale, marketplace_listings for the details on each, and price_guide to check whether the asking prices are reasonable. Rank the best options by value.
Tips
- Include the catalog number in your search to filter out reissues and different pressings immediately.
- Ask Claude to flag any listings where the description does not match the photos or the stated edition seems inconsistent.
- Check the price guide before committing; a listing can look cheap until you realize the pressing is more common than the seller implies.
