Read value guideHow to use it
Start with a city, then compare the shops
VinylPackman is a practical directory for checking record shops before you make the trip. Search by city or store name, then open a shop page to see the address, contact links, map, ratings, and any notes we have about what the store carries.
It is most useful when you want to compare a few nearby options instead of opening a dozen tabs. City pages group shops in one area, and the store pages keep the practical details close to the surface.
Selling a collection?
Use the seller guide first
If you are trying to sell records, the store list alone is not always enough. The seller guide helps you think through condition, formats, full collections, 45s, and what to ask before you call or visit a shop.
Featured cities
Strong places to start
These city pages have enough local shops to compare in one place. Use them when you want a quick overview of record stores in a larger vinyl market before opening individual shop pages.
