⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “If you want to sell your collection, this is the place to go.”
Selling a Collection From Home
Terri S. — Arlington Heights, IL
“I reached out via email on a Sunday, and received a response in less than 30 minutes. Two days later he came to view my modest collection, right on time, and clearly knows the vinyl business well. He bought most of my records on the spot and advised me how to donate the few he didn’t purchase. If you want to sell your collection, this is the place to go!”
Chuck M.
“Andy set up a time to come to our home to view what we had and showed up when he said he would. The whole process was very smooth, and we even learned a few things. He made a perfect offer and completed the sale immediately.”
Inherited & Estate Record Collections
Lauren Boult
“He took his time going through the collection of over 600 records and offered great advice and honest reasoning for offers along the way. The offer I received was extremely fair given the titles he selected and the condition. I would recommend We Buy Records to anyone looking to sell a collection!”
Anthony S.
“I inherited a large jazz LP collection from a relative and wanted to get it into collectors’ hands. Brian came out the next day, made me a great offer, and closed the deal after some negotiation. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I’m very satisfied.”
Smaller Collections & First-Time Sellers
Frank O.
“I had a bunch of old records I hadn’t used in years. Brian was very nice and gave me a good offer. If you have records to sell, give them a call.”
Speros T.
“I had low expectations, but Andy gave me a very fair offer.”
Gary W.
“Very easy process. I appreciated the honesty and speed.”
