Selling Your Old Vinyl Record Collection
There are numerous ways to sell a record collection, but what I’m going to cover here is why we think it is so much easier to sell to local buyers such as We Buy Records. We have bought thousands of collections over the years and dealt with folks from all walks of life, all with different collections and different priorities. From our experience here are a few things to consider.
Selling online is going to mostly be piece-meal one record at a time, involve lots of fees, and you’re going to have to learn how to grade records and deal with hundreds of annoying questions from buyers, most of which you will have trouble answering (is this the Terra Haute quad press of Led Zeppelin II?). Even if you advertise that you will only sell as a whole collection, you will be bombarded with buyers who just want to buy one or two titles and it can take months or years to sell them off.
Selling at a garage sale means low-ball cheap skate buyers who won’t want to pay much for anything.
Donating to Goodwill or a charity shop before checking by professional buyer like We Buy Records may mean you are giving up some very valuable items for nothing.
Calling We Buy Records means you can get a nice big payout in one easy hit and get rid of the whole collection in one simple transaction, provided this is what you want to do. Large collection? We come to you and do all of the heavy lifting!
