Vintage records vary by rarity and condition. I sell 15 records for $10 in my bargain room and I also sell single LPs for hundreds of dollars.
This is what I mean. Back in my day (yawn I know) you had prices for single albums, double albums and basically that was it. You'd pay more for limited stuff - a Japanese import or a picture or shaped disc - but other than that, all more or less the same price. Now it varies so much it seems a little insane. I bet there are records out there for major money that I could very well have here beside me on my shelf.
