Spent hours researching approximately random 50 vintage albums handful from 1 arbitrary shelf.
As far as I can see surprised none looked at today so great! St. Peppers 1967 Beatles I have 2 of, maybe 1 in good condition best bet worth something good?
The rest $8. - $15.

Well how is the most interesting gal on the planet doing? Busy looking thru vinyl huh?

I know it's all about the bands and the covers but that's it. Let's tag a few buddies that know their records @wastingtime101 and @katzrul15

Now, I know the music and the songs but I rarely sell vinyl these days. Best to you Jewel.

Can’t understand do a Google search of an album.

Its unavailable priced on Amazon at $900. I get so happy I have mine in my hand.. I’m ready to sell!

Then next I see it sold same exact one last week here on EBay for $5.

There is an awful lot to know selling old used records successfully that I don’t have a clue!

Maybe not worth it!

I collected and sold records for decades; you have to really know what you are doing when it comes to identifying , grading, and packaging. The vast majority of records are going to be like paperback books: mass release and not worth more than a couple dollars, unless in pristine (I mean PRISTINE) condition. Record collectors are very picky people... I have no advice for you except keep researching, not the records you have on hand, but researching the record buying and selling market.

Your disappointment may be premature because you researched random LPs, and not the best LPs.

But having been a vinyl addict and seller for 40 years, I have definitely found that you have to sort through a lot of gravel to find the nuggets. And if you do not have knowledge of the market, that can be a slow process and you may have trouble even recognizing the nuggets.
