We buy vinyl

Bring Us
Your Crates.

Downsizing, decluttering, or just done with that box in the closet — come in and let's see what you've got. No appointment, no pressure, no lowball games.

Three things we get right

Straight Up, No Skips.

Fifty Years, Combined

Our graders have been doing this since before grading scales had names. If it's real, we'll know it on sight.

Fair Offers, No Games

Cash or store credit — your call. We grade it the same way we grade what's on our shelves: honestly.

Walk-Ins Welcome

No appointment necessary. Bring a shoebox or a whole collection — we'll make time either way.

How it Works

From Crate to Counter.

  1. Bring it in.

    However much, however little. We'll take a look while you browse.

  2. We grade it, together.

    Same scale we use on everything we sell — no secret formula, no surprises.

  3. We'll tell you straight.

    If it's a fit, walk out with cash or credit. If it's not, we'll say so, and tell you why.

What we're looking for

If it spins,
bring it in.

We're always hunting for soul, funk, rock, hip-hop, and jazz pressings from any era — mint or well-loved, we're interested either way. Box sets, one-offs, entire collections.
