What We Buy
We’re interested in a wide range of genres, including all popular music from the 60’s onwards including rock, indie, reggae, electronic, and more. While we welcome various styles of music, please note that we typically do not buy classical records. If your records are in good condition and fall within these genres, we’d be happy to take a look.
Our Simple Process
1. Contact Us: Contact us by phone, email, or drop by the shop. Let us know what records you have, and we’ll arrange a convenient time for you to bring them in or for us to collect them.
2. Grading with the Goldmine Standard: When you bring your records in, we’ll carefully inspect and grade them using the Goldmine Standard, a trusted system for vinyl grading in the music industry. This method allows us to evaluate the condition of both the vinyl and its sleeve to ensure quality.
- Mint (M): Flawless condition, with no signs of use.
- Near Mint (NM): Almost perfect, with very minimal wear.
- Very Good (VG): Some signs of use, but the record still plays well.
- Good (G): More noticeable wear, but still a playable condition.
3. Fair and Transparent Offers: After grading your records, we’ll provide a fair cash offer based on their condition and demand. Our process is always transparent, and we ensure a hassle-free experience for everyone involved.
