I am a rather new Beatles fan, and I have a bunch of records I've gotten in the past months. I would like to know how much they are worth.
*T-2108, Something New, Mono, Capitol
*SWBO-101, The Beatles (White Album), Stereo, Apple, #2920944
*T-2576, Revolver, Mono, Capitol
*SKBO-3403, 1962-1966, Apple (On the first record there is SKBO-1-3403-F16 #4 scratched onto the record, on the third "ring" from the label, is this important?)
*ST-2047, Meet The Beatles!, Capitol, Stereo
If I need to provide additional info, please tell me.
Thanks,
thedoubledeuce

A lot of the value of particular records has to do with the condition they are in, whether there are scuffs, scratches, wear on labels or covers, etc. (Here is a general site to help you with estimating condition: link (http://www.vinylrecords.ch/Vinyl/vin_grading.htm).) Certain records, such as Meet The Beatles you mention above have various label variations, some of which are much more valuable than others.
Harbidge is one of our resident experts among experts on Beatles record collecting here, I'm sure he'll chime in soon.

Thank you very much for helping me. I suppose this means that some of my records go down in value (Meet The Beatles) because their covers are not in good condition (the records all sound fine, however).

Sometimes you can pick up a copy with a descent cover and trashed record for cheap and then just swap out the covers. Although if you do this, it's best to keep an eye on the details so that it matches the album--the biggest being stereo or mono, but also including the press they were made at--for MTB either Scranton or LA (the code on the cover should match the seal on the album). Here's another good site that might help you: http://members.aol.com/egweimi/btls/caplps.htm.
If you scroll to the bottom, you'll even see the seals that indicate location of the press.
