FAQ

What genres of vinyl records do you buy?

We buy almost all genres from the 70s onwards. For the 60s, we mainly purchase rock and jazz records. We typically do not buy records from artists like Glenn Miller, Barbara Streisand, or genres like big band.

What condition should the vinyl records be in for you to buy them?

We prefer vinyl records that are graded VG+ and better. We will still purchase VG titles if they are popular, but we are less likely to buy less popular titles in VG condition.

How do you price the vinyl records I sell to you?

For records priced above $10, we pay 30% of the retail value, typically based on Discogs prices minus 10%-20%, as we aim to sell records cheaper than Discogs prices in our shop. For records under $10, the percentage we pay is lower based on the retail value. For records that go into our $1.50 bins, we only pay 10 cents each.

How does the credit system work compared to cash?

When opting for store credit over cash, we take the total cash value and multiply it by 1.32. This means you get more value through store credit, and we can also special order items for you if you choose credit.

Can I bring records in any day of the week?

Yes, you can bring records by any day. Our employees are skilled at pricing and will be happy to assist you.
