Interesting
There are good guides, but that's all they are...guides. I recommend "Goldmine Price Guide to Collectible Record Albums"...out-of-print, but easily found at Amazon, etc. A really complete book with some rarities not found in any other book.
As Dan once told me, a record's worth is based solely on what the buyer is willing to pay for it. A $28,000 auction price for a rare copy of the Beatles' Butcher cover is worth that only because someone was willing to pay that for it.
$50-200 is common for mono Doors....getting the lower end price is based on your luck at auction & on whether you have a rabid bidding opponent or not. I have a friend who got it for $1 at a flee market or garage sale.
I found a white label promo of the Burritos "Gilded Palace Of Sin" for $30 at auction that I regularly see for $100+. All LUCK!!
I got a brown label Soft Parade for $15....the cover was shot, but the vinyl was mint. I fortunately had a mint cover with beat vinyl......so I married the two and I had a collectors item! Nice.
Happy hunting AND good luck!!! Keep one eye on ebay and the other on MusicStack or Amazon and ....your third eye on the record bins!...to compare prices....deals are to be had at all!!!
