FAQ

What types of records do you accept?

We take basically all records, with the only exceptions being most classical and big band-era music.

What are the deal breakers for record condition?

Water damage is often a deal breaker. Records that are extremely worn can also be a problem.

How do you determine the value of records?

The value often ultimately lies in the actual titles. Some titles are much more common, while others like Zep, Stones, or a lot of Blues, Jazz, World, or Reggae are worth more to us because we know people will want them. We pay more for Metal right now as our stock is very low.

Can I bring the records to you or do you offer pickup?

If you're local, you can bring them by, or we can come take a look. If you're outside of Missouri, you can send photos and/or video (we have a process for shipping records to here).

What about store credit versus cash payment?

Depending on the quantity and condition, store credit is often anywhere between 1.5x to 2x the cash value.

How can I get a valuation on my records?

It would not be possible to speculate on any values without at least a slightly better understanding of what you'd like to sell. If we can see the records in some way, we can usually tell you pretty quickly about what it might be worth to us.
