Maybe not in as good shape as yours, but there's one for sale on Ebay for $8.99 shipped.

Yep, something is worth only as much as someone is willing to pay. And I doubt LPs are holding their values anymore given the ease of access to music in this digital age. You'd have to find the right collector. And there should be books available in Barnes & Noble (or even check Amazon) that have price lists for collectibles.

Vinyl holds its value. It just depends on what you have. Most normal releases aren't worth anything, regardless of age. What are collectible are things like MONO recordings, anything pressed in limited quantities on 180g vinyl, picture discs, test pressings, crap like that.

There used to be a mag called Gold Mine that was full of information. Don't know if they still make it.
