“I was in today to sell a box of old records that was sitting in my garage. I had low expectations, but Andy gave me a very fair offer. Thank you so much!!!”

“I inherited a fairly large jazz LP collection from a relative. Wanted to sell it to get it back into the hands of Chicago collectors, etc. Called Brian who came out to review the collection, then he made me a great offer. They paid well for my collection. Wasn’t sure what to expect when I started the process, but I’m very satisfied with my dealings with Brian. He’s a fair, straight up guy!”

A Local Vinyl Specialty Store

Most people find selling their record collection to a local vinyl specialty store preferable to selling online. Some top reasons include saving time and hassle, getting a fair price, avoiding fees and scams, decluttering space, being able to sell a whole collection in one transaction, and not having to move or ship heavy records.

Selling Records Online

Online selling requires labor-intensive tasks like grading record conditions, identifying correct pressings, handling customer service and returns, and dealing with potential scams. Local online options like Facebook Marketplace bring out bargain-hunters, flippers, and buyers who want to just buy a couple titles for low value instead of taking the whole collection.


We strongly feel that utilizing the hassle-free process of We Buy Records is the best option for most sellers!
