Record Collector

Record Collector has been buying and selling vinyl in Iowa City since 1982, and the shop still runs on that same trade: used and new records changing hands over the counter. Alongside the vinyl racks you'll find CDs and other media, plus some audio gear and hi-fi equipment for anyone looking to actually spin what they buy.

The store buys records and collections from individuals — its site lays out specifics on what it will and won't take, so it's worth checking before hauling boxes in. Downtown on S Linn St, it also hosts in-store events, giving it a bit of a gathering-spot feel beyond straight retail.
