FAQ

Do you buy records from individuals?

We definitely buy records from people! We can answer your questions better if you call us. We usually have a buyer here from 12-6 every day, except Sunday.

What is your contact number?

Our phone number is (360) 357-4755. I encourage everyone to call and talk to me first, as it helps both of us if we can discuss the collection and establish expectations beforehand.

Can I bring my records to the store for evaluation?

A hundred LPs is not a large amount, and you're welcome to drop them off with us any time. We'll usually be done looking at them by the next day. You can also make an appointment if you need us to review them more promptly/while you wait.

What are your store hours?

I'm usually at the store from 12-2 every day but Sunday. We have a buyer available from 12-6 every day except Sunday.
