Appraisals
Parnassus Records started selling rare classical LPs by mail in 1970. We later added CDs to our mail order catalogs. While may have stopped the mail-order side of the business in 2008, the intervening years saw us build up a database of over 200,000 items.
The database consists largely of classical vinyl LP records and classical CDs. There is also a significant number of non-classical and jazz LPs and CDs. This unique experience and body of work enables us to provide unparalleled appraisal services to individuals and institutions wanting to know the value of collections proposed for donation or disposal.
We can provide many different suggestions for how to go about getting the most our of your donation or collection. We can travel to see the collection or we can work from written catalogs, provided that they have the required discographical information.
Please get in touch to discuss any aspect of our LP and CD collection appraisals services.
