How our prices work
Every number on our album pages is a live eBay asking price. Our tracker matches listings to pressings by barcode and runs daily, refreshing pressings in rotation; each page shows the date of its latest snapshot.
Asking is not a sold price
An ask is what a seller hopes to get. Records usually change hands below it, sometimes far below, so read our ranges as the top of the market, not the middle. Sold-price history is the better yardstick when you can see it; our price guide shows where to look it up.
When we quote a range, and when we stay quiet
A pressing gets a number only when at least three live listings match it. Five or more, and the range is the 25th to 75th percentile of those asks: a typical range, not a ceiling, so about a quarter of listings sit above it. Three or four, and we quote just the lowest ask, written as “from $X”. Fewer than three, and the page says so instead of guessing.
One caveat comes with the barcode matching: pressings that share a barcode share listings, so two rows of the same edition can show the same range. And a missing quote is not a verdict: usually it means eBay has little of that pressing today, and sometimes we simply have not collected that pressing yet.
The catalog behind the tables
Pressing tables come from our catalog of 974,753 vinyl releases (snapshot: August 2026). Long discographies are trimmed to the pressings most useful for identification; each page says how many it shows out of how many we track.
