FAQ: Selling Used Records

Do you buy used records in any condition?

We buy clean, playable records that have been properly stored. Light wear is fine, but heavily scratched or moldy vinyl usually can’t be purchased.

Do you buy modern reissues or only vintage pressings?

We buy both! Quality reissues and modern pressings of collectible albums are welcome as long as the condition is good.

Do you pay cash for used vinyl?

Yes — every transaction is cash on the spot. No waiting, no shipping, and no fees.
