Frequently Asked Questions About Selling Records for Cash

How much money can I expect for my records?

Every collection is different. Some common rock records sell for a few dollars each, while rare jazz LPs or original gospel albums can bring in much more. We always pay fair cash prices based on demand, rarity, and condition.

Do you buy 45s and singles?

Yes! We buy 45s across all genres. If you have soul, funk, R&B, or punk singles, they may be worth top dollar. Learn more on our dedicated We Buy 45s page.

Can you come to my home to evaluate a collection?

Absolutely. For larger collections, we offer free house calls throughout Chicago and the suburbs — including Lakeview, Evanston, Oak Park, and beyond.

Do you only buy records in excellent condition?

No. While mint condition items bring the highest offers, we also buy well-loved collections. Even if some albums are worn, many still hold value.

Why should I sell locally instead of online?

Online platforms like Discogs or eBay require photos, grading, shipping, and dealing with fees. Selling to us means no waiting, no shipping, and instant cash. Check our How to Sell Records Online guide for a full comparison.
