Selling a collection

Bring the boxes. Watch us grade.

No appointment for two boxes or fewer. For more than that, we come to you.

Tell us roughly what you have
A count and a few words are enough: “about 200 records from the 1970s, mostly kept in sleeves.”
Bring them in, or we come to you
Up to two boxes, bring them to the counter on any open day. A bigger collection, we agree on a time and visit within 30 miles of the shop.
We grade every record in front of you
Like new, clean, played or rough, the same four grades we sell by. You can watch and ask about any record.
You get an offer, record by record
Cash, or a quarter more in store credit. We usually pay about a third of what a record will sell for in the shop.
You keep what you want to keep
Take back any record you would rather hold onto. The appraisal costs nothing either way.

Two boxes fit on the counter. Three or more, we come to you.

We don’t buy cracked records, records too warped to sit flat, or empty sleeves.

The holiday crate-dig weekend

10am–6pm

Forty fresh crates, about 2,000 records from the fall buying, go out at opening.

10am–5pm

We open two hours early. The dollar crates are refilled every hour on both days.

No holds before the weekend: the crates go out at once, for everyone. Gift cards come in any amount, and the listening turntable runs all day.

Send a rough count. We reply with a time or a box count that suits.
