I Inherited A Huge Heavy Metal Music Collection: What Should I Do?

If you are reading this page, you probably inherited a heavy, death, or black metal record or CD music collection and have no idea what to do with it. You might be looking at boxes of CDs, records, and cassettes with band logos that you can barely decipher, and you don’t know where to start.

First, let me express my condolences for your loss, regardless of the circumstances.

People’s parents told them when they were teenagers that “heavy metal was just a passing phase.” Now that the music has been around for over 50 years, hardcore fans hold on to their collections for life and often take them to their graves.

How Do I know What This Collection Is Worth?

You may wonder if what you have is worth anything. The good news is that it frequently is. Obviously, specific collections are worth more than others, and it can be challenging to determine their value. Trying to figure out what to do with a massive collection can be a complex and demanding process, with a steep learning curve.

You might have gotten excited to see that you had a copy of Darkthrone’s “Blaze in the Northern Sky” and thought it was worth $1,000, only to realize later that it’s a reissue. Perhaps you got excited to see a yellow Bathory, only to find out it’s a bootleg. One can make a decent amount of money selling this piece by piece on eBay. What do you have the time to learn the difference between pressings? To get into the minutia of record grading? Or to learn the ins and outs of eBay.
