That sound ok to you??? OK, so I have no scruples people... shoot me why don't ya! :::hehe::: OK - ok , I'm going to seriously answer. The value of anything is what the market allows. You didn't specify if its a CD, LP or cassette. Cassettes are seldom seen, but when they do they go for the least at around 75.00 opened, more sealed. LPs opened can fetch 125.00 +, Sealed LP's double that if you find the right buyer. IF you happen to get an LP without the saw mark its easily triple the sealed value. CD's are a whole different ball of wax. There are soooo many greedy jerks out there making YKTR boots & counters and trying to pass them off as the real deal. The FAQ webpage below is an excellent source of info. Here are the 3 guidelines to a genuine YKTR CD. A genuine CD will be 1.) silver with black & red rings 2.) In a jewel case with bright clear artwork and an Atlantic # 81845-2 on BOTH the back inserts spine and CD itself, And 3.) the back insert has a solid blue back with the white chalk looking "Y Kant Tori Read" at the top with the spine being white with red lettering. Do NOT be fooled because the insert &/or CD has the Atlantic logo. I've seen YKTR CD's on eBay go for over 500.00. As to their genuineness... well... ? The most valuable YKTR would be a sealed CD still in a sealed longbox. Value? The owner could probably name his or her price and get it if they wait long enough for the right buyer. The FAQ has oooodles of info & pics so you can see exactly what ya got there. Good luck hun, and let us know what ya find out :-) Y Kant Tori Read FAQ Toodles ~ MysT "I like it hot and sweet..."
