Record Recycler

Record Recycler in Torrance, Los Angeles has bought and sold used vinyl records since 2001. The shop carries LP albums, 12-inch singles, and 45s, paying cash for old vinyl collections. Owner Roy evaluates records based on condition and artist quality, with a general guideline that sellers should bring at least a box of a hundred records unless they live nearby. Records in near-mint condition or featuring sought-after artists may justify longer drives.

Potential sellers are encouraged to call ahead to discuss whether a trip makes sense. Roy notes that well-stored vinyl holds up remarkably well over decades. While he'll examine anything brought to the store, he's straightforward about which collections he can use, making a preliminary phone conversation the best first step for anyone considering selling their records.
