When it comes to selling an old vinyl record collection, you have a few different paths.

-Selling It Online

-Selling It To A Local Shop

- Donating to a Charity Shop

I will get into the pros and cons of these options a bit below and then address some Frequently Asked Questions beneath that.

Selling online is really going to be a piecemeal process, and will require you to create an account, achieve some positive feedback and learn about grading conditions of records and covers plus acquiring specialty shipping supplies and learning how to properly pack a record. In my experience, most sellers do not have the time, patience or desire to follow this path.

Donating to a charity shop may be a fine last resort, but if you don’t have a local shop or expert look at them first, there is a good chance you’ll be giving something of decent or better value up for nothing.

Selling to a local shop like We Buy Records can get you one quick payout, often times in just a few minutes. I find most sellers prefer this method.

• Are Vinyl Records Still Popular?

  Yes! It is now the best selling “physical” music format. While streaming is very convenient, the joy of hunting down, acquiring, and listening to records just seems to have a timeless appeal to all generations.

• What is the best way to sell a record collection?

  We strongly believe selling to a local specialty store like We Buy Records is the easiest and most efficient option!

• Should I sell my records individually or as a collection?

  Most people do not have the time or expertise to sell records individually and become quite frustrated when they explore this path in my experience.

• How much can you sell a record collection for?

  Values can be very different, many collections may have little or no value, and others can be extremely valuable. Most typically I see collections with some low to medium value titles, a few better value titles and a bunch of low/no value records all mixed together.

• How do I find out what my vinyl records are worth?

  I suggest getting an expert to look at the collection and get you a ballpark number.

• Should I sell my records online?

  Most people do not have the time or expertise to sell records online in my experience.
