Top 30 Most Expensive Items Sold in January 2020

Alright, quick show of hands whose answer to the January Blues is buying records? We can’t find fault with that, and I’m willing to bet moods were buoyed with January’s record finds.

Classical music isn’t typically a big seller on Discogs – there are under a million classical releases in the Discogs Database (of over 12 million), and of the 53 million releases listed in the Marketplace, less than 5% of those are classical. But one savvy buyer knows an unmissable opportunity when it comes to this Ludwig Van 13 LP box set.

Genres by release count in the Discogs Database.

Our very own Diognes_The_Fox is probably kicking himself now after selling D.R. Hooker’s The Truth years earlier for just over half the price it went for in January. You can read more about his experience with this “real-life holy grail of psychedelic rock” and discoveries about this release here.

Discogs sellers made just shy of $60,000 from these 30 records alone in January. Check out what music lovers are willing to shell big bucks for.
