I have a huge problem. I want to listen to my vinyl records but at the same time i want to keep them in mint condition to preserve their value.

I couldn’t find a solid answer but if i take good care of my vinyls could they be as nearly as valuable as unopened vinyls?

How do you deal with this dilemma of wanting to preserve a record’s value while also wanting to enjoy and listen to it?

    Vinyl records are not an investment. They will not significantly increase in value in your lifetime. There is actually a good chance that in the future 10-20+ years they will be lower in resale value when adjusted for inflation. Just because there is a hot market for something right now does not mean there will be in the future.

    Buy them to enjoy, whatever that means to you.
