We buy and trade vinyl (not 78s)

BEFORE YOU BRING RECORDS IN

  • If you have more than 200 records please call before bringing them in.

When you call, we can give you a rough idea on price if you know:

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

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

  • Very generally what genres/decades/artists they cover

PLEASE NOTE…

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

  • We reserve the right to dispose of large collections dumped in our store without prior arrangement; especially old easy listeing, opera box sets, etc from deceased estates.

IN STORE APPRAISALS: WED - FRI

  • We can only do on the spot appraisals Wed - Fri and only lots of less than 100 (1 crate). Anything else must be left here.

You can bring records in at any time, but you will have to leave them here. Turnaround on appriasals is 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 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 ;)

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 collections 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. 

  • Rarities: sky is the limit

  • If in doubt …
