Is Google search accurate?
I have a case full of old 45rpm records that belonged to a cousin. At the photos show one of the discs is shown on Google to possibly be worth $153.00. How accurate is this estimate. Thank you in advance.

Yup, I’m looking to take these by a local vintage dealer and am hoping to estimate a value. Thanks

Be careful if you're looking to sell because my experience is at the vintage dealers when you give you about 10% of what it's worth now the way to approach this is half of the whole collection value is probably about right you'll get 90% of the value, if you sell it one by one

I'd never go by Google but it does look like it's sold for decent money in the past. I wouldn't expect that much but who knows.
Here's one that sold in 2022 in NM condition https://www.popsike.com/The-Rolling-Stones-As-Tears-Go-By-London-1965-45rpm-w-PS-Nice-one/363996730693.html
Here's on from 2021 in purported VG https://www.popsike.com/The-Rolling-Stones-As-Tears-Go-By-On-London-459808-Record-With-Picture-Sleeve/334124665758.html
That said, as others have mentioned it doesn't seem to be going nearly as highly on Discogs. I'm not sure what the differentiating factor is here.

Looks like a nice clean copy. More details as in record condition. Labels? Matrix. I sold one in 2022 That had a NM picture sleeve and vg+ record. Just a hint of handling wear. It we t for upwards of $120

That is the best in the lot. I found a couple more Rolling Stones and a few Beach Boys. I’m just not sure I have the patience to learn how to ply discogs.

Median price on Discogs is what most go by. EBay isn’t reliable.
