-
Are there particular labels that are more desirable?Yes! · Mobile Fidelity · Classic Records · Analog Productions · Music Matters · Nautilus · DCC · Superdisc
-
What condition does my vinyl have to be in?Condition is very important. The better the condition, the more buyers will bid on them. Scratched records are not worth anything.
-
What formats do buyers want?Mostly 33s (LPs). Old 78s (before 1940) made of shellac are extremely rare and can be valuable if in good condition. The rule of the thumb with 45's is the more popular the artist the less desirable and therefore value. If you have 45s of not very popular artists, in good condition - let us know (even better if they are in sleeves).
-
What if my records are scratched?Scratched records are not worth anything.
-
Are there any genres I can't sell?In general, Easy Listening, Holiday Records, 40-60's Crooner Records and Classical are tough to sell. If they are part of a much larger collection that includes desirable genres, a collector or store may take them - but if the majority of your collection fall in to these categories it will be very difficult to move.
-
Is there a minimum number of records I need to have in order to sell?Not technically, but typically we deal with collections of at least 10 vinyl records.
-
Is there a maximum number of records I can sell?No, there is no maximum. But sometimes for extremely large collections (over 500), we will recommend splitting them up into smaller "lots" unless you already have them all catalogued in detail. Don't worry, we will help you with all of the details.

How does shipping work?We will walk you through all the details of what types of boxes to use, how to pack and seal them, etc ... and they we will let you know how to ship them. We have videos to help and we are always here to help.
