October's most valuable vinyl: the 13 most expensive records sold on Discogs - and how much they went for

So, hands up who needs a little more spending money ahead of Christmas? Me too....

But a show of hands to our beloved vinyl hunters, both seasoned and new to “the game,” who are willing to part with some of your most treasured items in your collection to earn a little more money - or a lot more in some cases - to cover Christmas 2025?

I thought so - me neither.

But there have been some very lucrative sales over the past few weeks on online marketplace Discogs, and only one Taylor Swift vinyl on our list this month; surprisingly, given the amount of variants that were released in the lead up to The Life of a Showgirl’s release.

We’ve dived into the ever-fluctuating world of music collecting once again this month, looking once again at some of those releases that have elicited huge figures at their highest selling point, with Northern Soul once again permeating our list. As ever, treat this list as a guide rather than ‘gospel,’ as again, what someone wants one week doesn’t mean it’ll be worth the same a week later.

Supply and demand, I believe, is the business phrase used.

But what have been the big sellers on Discogs in October?
