FAQ
What condition do the records need to be in for you to consider buying them?
We are kind of picky about condition, to a degree. However, sometimes we will still make an offer on titles that are more desirable, even if they aren't in perfect condition.
What types of music genres are you interested in purchasing?
We are mostly looking for rock, jazz, blues, R&B, etc. However, there are desirable titles in every genre that we're interested in.
How much do you typically offer for common records?
For most common records we see all the time, you're looking at about $1 a piece.
How do you determine the value of rarer records?
For rarer records, we try to pay anywhere from one third to a half of the record's value, depending on how badly we want to buy it.
When is the best time to bring records in for evaluation?
If you'd like to bring them in, weekday afternoons are best. Please contact us to schedule a visit.
