how is a common record that sold by the million and is in average condition valuable?

Well if thereās lots of copies floating around and no demand then yes, should be cheap. But thereās a caliber of record that will never sell at a steep discount at an op shop. Thereās also pressings that come into it; a pressing from the 1980s will always be more valuable than a modern pressing register because of scarcity and older vinyls have that nostalgia factor.

I see huge bags of vintage pop LPs in the donation bins š¤Ø
