Hidden at the back of your cupboard might be a few old vinyls which could earn you hundreds or even thousands of pounds. Vinyls died out with the rise of CDs and streaming platforms, but they’ve since seen a revival.

Rocks Off Magazine says that since 2007, vinyl sales have been on a steep incline, culminating in 2022 when vinyl outsold CDs for the first time since 1987. Potteries Auctions have revealed which vinyls can sell for the most money in 2026. It has shared seven vinyls which it says can sell from anywhere between £20 to £5000.

Potteries Auctions says the prices are only guide prices, and that the condition and rarity of your vinyls can dramatically increase or decrease value.
