Finding the Worth of Rare CD's

I have some rare soundtrack CD's I might consider selling. How do I find out a fair price to ask? I have
"Body Heat" John Barry, original SCSE Edition
"Jagged Edge" John Barry ltd edition
"Fedora" Miklos Rozsa
"7th Voyage of Sinbad", Herrmann original Varese edition
Thanks for anything you can tell me

Soundtrack.net ? In many cases their estimated value are not to be taken seriously. For example, Love Is A Many-Splendored Thing being worth $19.99 is a good joke, but let me know how could you get it for that price.

I think that searching the completed listings on eBay gives a better general idea about the real values...

Jagged Edge: 4855172270

soundtrack.net is an informative and interesting website and should not be overlooked but its price guides are not always updated. ''The Omega Man'' is listed for $19.95. Its market value was once worth this much but now being out of print and highly desirable it is worth much more. ''It's Alive'' by Bernard Herrmann is listed for $13.00... I wish! ''The Island'' by Ennio Morricone for $14.95, ''Predator'' by Alan Silvestri for $19.95, ''Jaws 2'' by John Williams for $15.00, ''Chinatown'' by Jerry Goldsmith for $12.00. eBay and Amazon are current and can serve as good reference price guides and should not be neglected. The value of a soundtrack depends on its availability, demand, and condition. A rare and higly desired brand new/sealed soundtack is usually most expensive. Good luck honus!

This seller has been around on eBay for some time. In general the prices are actual average values of what these film scores sale for. Ludicrous and ridiculous... perhaps but it is no exaggeration by far. Sorry!

Prices are quite conservative on soundtrackguide.net, nothing ridiculous at all.

Soundtrack.net is less conservative, less updated, but has a outstanding database. Was using it long time
