Sell Your Collection
We are in constant need of records and will travel anywhere given sufficient quantity and quality.
Because we often travel to buy records in person, we're generally interested in collections of 1,000 pieces or larger. Exceptions do apply, particularly if you have a smaller number of rarer records.
We require top condition, interesting titles in most genres. If you have a collection you'd like to sell, let us know the quantity, musical categories (most types of pre '85 music are of interest), source (“My relative was in the record business in 1958/68, etc” is always a good start!), and where you are located.
We DON'T need 78s or very common LPs and 45s (the biggest hits of their era) in average condition.
If you have a collection that you think we may be interested in, please contact us.
