Frequently Asked Questions

How Can I Sell Old Records?

There are a few different ways to sell them including online, rummage sales or to a local vinyl shop. We strongly feel that most people make more money with less effort by selling to a local shop like We Buy Records. No lifting, shipping, or complex computer skills needed!

How Much Are Old Records Worth?

All records have different values based on title and condition. The more a title is in demand, the harder it is to get and the better condition it's in the more valuable it can be. And vise versa, common records with little demand in poor condition will have little or no value. See the next question for more specifics!

Which Types of Records Are Valuable?

While there are exceptions to every rule, most of the valuable records these days are rock, r&b, jazz, punk, rap, or very obscure genres. Most classical, country, Christmas, opera and kids records have little or no value.

What Is The Process For Selling Records?

We recommend calling, texting or emailing with a brief description of how many records you have approximately and what styles of music. After we know this we can make recommendations for how to most easily get you a cash offer!

Should I Clean My Records First?

No! Unless you are a record expert do not attempt to clean them first! You may ruin them!

Vinyl or Albums — What’s the Difference?

People often use the words “vinyl” and “albums” interchangeably — but there’s a subtle difference. Here’s a quick breakdown of what each term really means.

🎶 Vinyl Record

Refers to the physical disc made of vinyl that stores sound. A vinyl record can be a single, EP, or full-length LP.

  • Formats: 7”, 10”, or 12” sizes
  • Speeds: 33⅓, 45, or 78 RPM
  • Types: Singles, EPs, or LPs

Examples: 7” single (1 song per side), 12” LP (8–12 songs).

💿 Vinyl Album

A vinyl album means a collection of songs — usually pressed on a 12” LP that plays at 33⅓ RPM. It’s a longer, cohesive release by an artist or band.

The word “album” dates back to the 78 RPM era when multiple discs were packaged like a photo album — the name stuck even after vinyl took over.

Key difference: an album is the collection of music; a record is the format that carries it.

Many people still say “albums” when they really mean “records,” which is why targeting both terms makes sense. Whether you’re selling albums or vinyl records, Andy at We Buy Records Milwaukee pays top cash for both.
