For any out of print album, the price will not only be a reflection of condition, but timing of the market (which changes, sometimes drastically over the course of a decade), totally apart from outliers-- somebody could have just overspent on something, have had the hots for it, it could have been some WLP with a misprint signed by X, who knows?
Best way to gauge prices is probably to look at current listings on Discogs to start if Mint-; also look at Popsike which will still have outliers, but they also graph rise and fall in price historically. I know a number of instances where a record was worth several hundred at one time and is now worth less than 50 bucks; conversely, there are some that increase in value steadily. Impossible to generalize, though I just did.
PS: fastest way to sell it is to underprice it a bit once you’ve done your due diligence on pricing for a particular album. And if you don’t have feedback on Discogs, perhaps say you are liquidating your vinyl collection, and the records are pristine except where noted (if that’s the case); that you are a new seller but are grading conservatively. If you are play grading, that’s a plus. (more time/effort on your part).
