Pricing is determined by the quantity we have in stock, popularity, and condition. Products released in the last 60–90 days typically command a higher price — the more popular a product is right now, the more you get paid.

We don’t provide quotes over the phone, and all quotes are for lots only — we don’t have the resources to price individual items. As an independent, local business, we also appreciate direct product donations. Thank you for supporting independent book stores and record stores!

Evaluation guidelines

Vinyl

  • Original outer cardboard sleeve required, in very good condition (untorn, clean, smoke and mildew free).
  • Unwarped, and without scratches or scuffs you can feel with a finger-tip.
  • We mostly buy rock, hip hop/rap, blues, punk, metal, jazz, reggae and soul from the 1960’s on — but there are many exceptions, and we’d rather you bring them in than miss an opportunity.

CDs

  • Cover insert and back cover required.
  • Cracked cases are fine if the artwork is in excellent condition.
  • Scratched CDs are sometimes okay, but may reduce the value paid.
  • No pirated music or bootlegs.

  • Pages unyellowed and free of smoke and mildew odors.

DVD & Blu-ray

  • Original artwork/box required, in excellent condition.
  • Scuffs are sometimes okay, but reduce value.
