That wall of records is worth more than you think and it deserves something better than a spreadsheet. ProVinyl gets your crate organized, valued, and ready to show off. Hook up Discogs and your whole collection (and wantlist) lands in your pocket, no re-typing cat numbers, no "wait, did I already buy this?" Know what your crate's worth - See a live value for the whole collection, plus a per-record number based on the condition you graded it. Spoiler: it adds up fast. Log what you actually paid - Drop in what each copy cost you and watch your gain or loss across the shelf. That $4 bin find that's now worth $80? Receipts. Grade every copy like you mean it - Set media and sleeve condition with proper grades, so your inventory tells the truth, not just "I own this release" but "I own this copy." Make every record yours - Snap your own photos of a pressing and leave a note , "first press, Amoeba SF, paid too much, worth it." The story stays with the record. Pull a real appraisal PDF - One tap and you've got a clean, itemized appraisal of the whole collection; your values, your cost basis. Great for insurance, great for bragging. Hunt with a wantlist - Keep the white whales in one place, then move them into your collection the second you finally score one. A profile worth flexing - Get a public page and share card for your collection, a clean link to post, drop in the group chat, or wave at the people still using a notes app. 50 records or 5,000, ProVinyl is the home your collection's earned. — ProVinyl uses the Discogs API but is not affiliated with, sponsored, or endorsed by Discogs.
