About GrooveHound
GrooveHound is an independent site that tracks vinyl record prices in Australia. It watches current eBay Australia listings for a list of records and shows you the cheapest copies, with postage included where the seller states it.
How it works
- We check eBay Australia every 4 hours through eBay’s official developer interface, and only show listings from Australian sellers.
- Once a day we pick the featured records: the albums with the most copies currently for sale by Australian sellers. That is a measure of how many copies are listed, not a count of how many people want them. The featured records are shown cheapest first.
- Each listing is matched to a record automatically, using its title. When a title names the catalogue number, or the year and country, of a particular pressing, we label it “Matches this pressing”. Otherwise it is shown as another copy of the same album. Matching can be wrong, so always check the photos and details on the listing.
- We only show listings that were checked recently, and we delete old listing data within hours of a listing no longer appearing.
- Record details such as titles, artists, labels and catalogue numbers come from the public catalogue data published by Discogs. Data provided by Discogs.
What we don’t do
We don’t sell records, take payment or hold stock. When you click a listing you go to eBay and buy from the seller there. Prices and availability can change at any time, so the price on the listing is the one that counts.
How GrooveHound is funded
As an eBay Partner Network affiliate, GrooveHound may earn a commission when you buy through links on this site, at no extra cost to you. Listings are ordered by price, and links are the same whether or not a commission applies.
GrooveHound is free to use. If it has saved you time or money, you can leave a tip to help keep the site running. Tips are optional, don’t unlock anything, and are not tax-deductible donations: GrooveHound is not a charity.
Watchlist and alerts
With a free account you can watch up to 3 records and get a daily email when a copy from an Australian seller turns up. A paid plan (A$4.99 a month or A$39 a year) allows up to 50 watches, an email after each price check that finds a new match, and limits on price, condition and pressing. The paid plan pays for the alerts, not for eBay’s data: the prices on this site are free for everyone. Set up your watchlist.
