Collection information

Help Us Understand What You Have.

You do not need to catalog every record. A few useful details about the size, genres, condition, and location provide a strong starting point.

The helpful basics

Five details that make an evaluation easier.

1

Approximate quantity

A rough count is enough—one shelf, ten boxes, 500 records, or an entire room.

2

Genres and era

Tell us what styles are represented and the decades when most of the records were purchased.

3

Overall condition

Mention water exposure, mold, heavy dust, missing jackets, warping, or other visible concerns.

4

Collection location

Share the city, floor level, stair or elevator access, and any timing considerations.

5

How it was acquired

A personal collection, inheritance, former DJ library, store inventory, or another source.

What to expect

Clear communication from the first look to the final offer.

Initial review

We use the information you provide to determine whether the collection appears to be a good fit and whether an in-person evaluation makes sense.

In-person evaluation

For promising collections, we may arrange a convenient time to review the records, their condition, and the overall mix.

Offer and removal

Any offer considers condition, demand, quantity, and the work required to safely pack and remove the collection. You are never pressured to accept.

A helpful note

Not every old record is rare—and that is okay.

Value varies widely based on artist, title, pressing, label, condition, and demand. Age alone does not determine value, and online asking prices do not always reflect actual sales.

We are especially interested in cohesive collections with jazz, soul, funk, boogie, gospel, R&B, disco, and related music, but we are glad to consider other quality material within a larger collection.
