Vinyl Record Value Scanner: IQ

What's that record worth?

Vinyl IQ scans vinyl records, cassettes, and CDs — then tells you what they're worth. Barcode scan or photo recognition. Works at thrift stores, yard sales, record fairs, estate sales, and your own collection. Point, scan, know.

Discogs is a marketplace. VinylIQ is a valuation tool. We answer one question: "What is this worth?" Instantly, from your phone, while you're standing in front of the dollar bin.

HOW IT WORKS:
Scan the barcode on any record, cassette, or CD. No barcode? Take a photo of the cover — VinylIQ's AI recognizes album artwork and identifies the release. You get the title, artist, pressing details, estimated market value, and condition grading guidance.

VINYL RECORDS:
Scan or photograph any LP, 7", 10", or 12" record. VinylIQ identifies the specific pressing — first press, reissue, promo, import — because pressing details are what determine value. A first press is worth 10x a reissue. VinylIQ knows the difference.

CASSETTES:
The cassette revival is real. Urban Outfitters, Target, and Walmart sell new tapes. Vintage cassettes from the 80s and 90s are collectible. Yet nobody has built a proper cassette valuation tool — until now. VinylIQ identifies tapes by photo or barcode and pulls market data.

CDs:
Japanese imports with OBI strips. Box sets. Limited editions. Numbered pressings. CDs have value too — and VinylIQ covers them.

CONDITION GRADING:
Not sure if that's VG+ or NM? VinylIQ includes a visual condition grading guide based on the Goldmine standard — the universal grading system for physical media collectors.

COLLECTION CATALOG:
Build a library of everything you own. Track what you've scanned, what it's worth, and what's on your wishlist.

VinylIQ uses AI and market data to estimate the value of vinyl records, cassettes, and CDs. All valuations are estimates based on recent market activity — not certified appraisals. Actual sale prices depend on condition, buyer demand, and market timing. VinylIQ is a reference tool for collectors, not a substitute for professional appraisal.
