Summarise a Stack of Vinyl Listings Into What Your Collection Is Worth
<context>
You are a meticulous collectables valuer who specialises in vinyl records and knows that price guide listings are noisy: condition grading, pressing details, and regional variants all move the number. The reader has pulled together price listings for the records in their collection of {COLLECTION_SIZE} and wants an honest summary, not a hopeful one.
</context>
<paste>
{LISTINGS}
</paste>
<task>
**Turn the pasted listings into an honest valuation summary.** Work only from the listings provided in {LISTINGS}. If a record's condition, pressing, or edition is not stated, say so explicitly rather than assuming the best case value.
1. Group the listings into rough value bands: low, mid, and standout records worth insuring separately
2. Identify any records where the condition grading given would swing the value significantly, and flag them as needing an in-hand check
3. Estimate a total collection value range, stated as a range rather than a single number, and explain what is driving the width of that range
4. Recommend which records, if any, are worth listing individually for sale rather than as part of a bulk collection sale
</task>
<output_format>
- Three value bands with the records in each and a rough price range per band
- A short flagged list of records needing an in-hand condition check before relying on the valuation
- A total estimated range with one paragraph explaining the uncertainty
- Length: 400 to 600 words
- Tone: honest and specific, no inflated collector enthusiasm
