02 — What we don't buy
Before you go to any trouble
We're specialists, so there's plenty we pass on. Worth a quick scan before you start:
Common collections
Easy listening, big band, polka, Russian; Reader’s Digest and Columbia House box sets.
Other records we pass on
Classical of any kind, Christmas records, LPs without covers, and records with mold, water damage or warps.
03 — How it works
Four steps
Tell us about you
Name, where the records are, and how soon you want them gone.
Show us the vinyl
Send two photos of your 12 most collectible albums: six different front covers per photo, arranged in two columns of three.
We review it
A person goes through it. You hear back within 24 hours, either way.
Offer, then payment
We pick up, or you ship and we cover the freight. Paid by CashApp, Venmo, PayPal or cash.
Pickup and shipping
We come to you
Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana. For a collection worth the drive, we’ll load it ourselves—no packing, no shipping, cash in hand.
Ship it to us
Anywhere in the lower 48. Once we’ve agreed on an offer, we’ll send packing guidance and cover the freight.
On the road
We travel to buy several times a year. Submit anyway—if we’re headed your way, we’ll let you know.
04 — Who we are
We've been doing this a long time
We’re not a general resale operation that happens to take records. This is the music we came up on and still play, which means we know what’s in your crates on sight instead of working through them one sleeve at a time. That comes from a long time around this stuff—years in record retail, more years behind decks, and a lot of hours in other people’s basements and garages. The labels on that list aren’t research. They’re what we’ve been chasing the whole time. We’re buyers, not brokers. One offer, one payment—no consignment, no waiting.
05 — Questions
Before you ask
How many records do I need?
At least 12 albums. Choose your 12 most collectible albums for the two sample photos; tell us the approximate size of the whole collection too.
Do I have to take the whole offer?
No. We’ll usually want the whole collection, but if there are records you’re keeping, pull them before we come.
I’m settling an estate. Can you help?
Yes, and it’s a lot of what we do. Tell us about the collection and send two clear photos of 12 collectible albums, six front covers in each.
How do you decide what to pay?
Artist, title, pressing and condition—and how much of the collection lands in the lanes above. We’ll walk you through the reasoning on anything you want to know about.
What happens to my information?
We use it to make you an offer. We don’t sell it, and we don’t add you to anything you didn’t ask for.
