We buy and trade vinyl (not 78s)

IN STORE APPRAISALS: WED - FRI

You are welcome to bring them in at other times, but you will have to leave them here. Turnaround 7-10 days but we endeavour to be as fast as we can.

  • We buy in bulk and don’t cherry-pick (which would leave you with stuff you can't get rid of).

  • We cannot appraise on the spot, unless you have exceptioanlly small quantities, we are not busy and it’s Wednesday, Thursday or Friday.

  • We generally only buy records in VG+ (excellent) to Near Mint/Mint. Read up on how to grade records here.

  • We offer more for trade, so maybe it’s time to prune your collection ;)

BEFORE YOU BRING THEM IN

We can give you a rough idea on price if you know:

  • How many you have (a 30cm x 30cm cube of records is about 100)

  • Generally what condition they are in (grading info here)

  • Very Generally what genres/decades/artists they cover

  • DO NOT MAKE A LIST. Unless you love making lists, they are of little use because there are so many variables.

PRICING

  • As a general rule, for records in MINT to NEAR MINT condition, we pay between 1/3 and 1/2 the median market price, which we ascertain using online sales figures.

    The breakdown for used collection is…

  • Easy Listening: $0 - think Nana Mouskouri, stage shows, classical, goon show, Burt Bacharach.

  • Filler: 50c - $1 per record. Think ABBA, Elton John, 12” Dance Floor Filler, RNB, Breaks, .

  • Killer: Up to $10 (sometimes more) per record. Think Pink Floyd, Prodigy, Tribe Called Quest, Rando 00s Minimal Tech, Groove Armada, Led Zeppelin. 

  • If in doubt …
