We buy and trade vinyl (not 78s)

WE APPRAISE VINYL IN STORE Wednesday through Friday. You are welcome to bring them in at other times, but you will have to leave them here.

• We buy in bulk and don’t cherry-pick (which would leave you with stuff you can't get rid of).

• We only appraise records from Wednesday - Friday. This takes time and we can only very rarely do it on the spor for small quantities. You are more than welcome to leave records here on the weekend for week-day appraisal. NOTE that it can take up to a week to finalise any deal (things get busy here).

• We generally only buy records in VG+ (excellent) to Near Mint/Mint. Read up on how to grade records here.

• We offer more for trade, so maybe it’s time to prune your collection ;)
  

BEFORE YOU BRING THEM IN we can give you a rough idea on price if you know:

• How many you have (a 30cm x 30cm cube of records is about 100)

• Generally what condition they are in (grading info here)

• Very Generally what genres/decades/artists they cover

• DO NOT MAKE A LIST. Unless you love making lists, they are of little use because there are so many variables.

PRICING: notwithstanding any rare/original presses that you might have in there) old vinyl is worth

• Nothing for easy listening: Nana Mouskouri, stage shows, classical, goon show, Burt Bacharach.

• 50c - $1 a record for ‘filler’: ABBA, Elton John, Prog House, RNB, Breaks, Billy Joel.

• Up to $10 (sometimes more) per record for local presses of ‘killer’ releases: Pink Floyd, Tribe Called Quest, Groove Armada, Led Zeppelin. 

• Even more for rare things…
