Thinking about selling your vinyl collection? You’ve got options — from Discogs and eBay to Facebook Marketplace. But if your goal is fast payment, no shipping hassle, and a fair deal, selling locally to collectors like We Buy Records Chicago is often the smarter move.
Pros: Massive global vinyl marketplace, transparent pricing, great for rare LPs and 45s.
Cons: Requires detailed listings, grading expertise, and time. Fees and shipping costs reduce profits.
Best for: Experienced sellers with valuable niche titles.
Pros: Large audience, auction visibility, quick exposure for hot records.
Cons: High competition, packing time, return disputes, and 12–15% platform fees.
Best for: A few standout records, not whole collections.
Pros: No fees, local reach, easy listings.
Cons: Flaky buyers, safety issues, lowball offers, inconsistent pricing.
Best for: Small lots you want gone fast — if you don’t mind the hassle.
