Why Knowledge Matters in Vinyl Record Dealing
My name is Ron, the owner, and here I aim to highlight the importance of having a dealer with expert knowledge on records when offering your vinyl records.
Among Australian dealers, I consider myself to be among the top three in terms of a broad-spectrum of knowledge about records across various genres. I've received feedback confirming this throughout my career. While some might specialise in particular styles like 'Celtic folk' or 'free jazz,' I firmly stand by my assertion of possessing in-depth knowledge of nearly every genre, with the exception of dance music, and I welcome any challenge to this claim.
Since I began collecting records in 1982 and started my record buying service in 1994, I have encountered an immense quantity of vinyl records—far too many to even guess—both in-person and online as well as through literature. I retain memories of most, if not all, of them, which enhances my ability to analyse a collection based on their characteristics and then, value. This expertise benefits sellers significantly, particularly when it comes to obscure records. Unlike inexperienced dealers who might overlook uncommon records and put them in the "no" pile, I identify their potential and place them in the 'yes' pile. This means you would get paid for records that others don't know. Engaging with novice dealers could mean losing out on valuable sales.
