So vinyl's had a resurgence of late, that isn't news but I am considering selling some/all of my records while it's still in vogue.
Is the time right or do you think keeping them another 20 years will make them more/less valuable?
It's mostly what I bought late 80s early 90s, limited edition stuff. I have Nirvana's Australian 'Hormoaning EP' on swirly burgundy vinyl for example, a few have sold recently on eBay for upwards of £150 and that's what got me thinking. I feel that this is a passing fad and may be the last time to make money on my era of records. I have a lot of Metallica picture discs / ltd editions which I wonder might be worth more later on as the band are still going.

Vinyl is here to stay but what records are in or out of vogue will change. Used vinyl prices vary massively and you might find your most valuable records are not what you think they are - and condition is very important. I'm surprised the Hormoaning EP is selling for so much on eBay - loads of copies on Discogs for a lot less than that.
Taking inflation into account, I reckon the value of most record collections will be pretty static in 20 years.
Is it really worth so much?
Damn, I will have it get it over from Oz.

I think it might have been '92.
Yes, I have the gatefold version of Jazz too- actually I have everyone on vinyl up to Innuendo.
And some Beatles compilations- 1962-66 (red) and 67-70 (blue) original pressings.
A gift from my Dad.
I'm sitting on a gold mine, eh?

I'm just thinking the same thing, my parents have all the Beatles, Led Zep, Queen, Who etc from the late 60s to mid 80s. There is a cupboard 8 feet high and four feet wide full of this stuff.
Metallica's first three albums on picture disc, Creeping Death gold vinyl, Jump In The Fire red vinyl no barcode, and loads more. All original pressings.
Nirvana's one-day-only split 7" with The Jesus Lizard 'Puss / Oh The Guilt' on blue vinyl sounds like gold dust but it seems to go for about £20ish. Not too shabby given I bought it from new in Woolies though.
Gorgeous items like Alice In Chains' 'Jar of Flies/Sap' coloured etched vinyl are hard to let go of which is silly as it doesn't get played and rarely looked at but there's something about owning it that tickles me.
Your parents' collection is older and may be in used condition but if you have enough of it and it isn't being enjoyed then add up all those fivers and tenners just sitting there... then listen to them online!
And used the money to pay the deposit on a house in London.
I have a few rarities.
