Frequently Asked Questions About Selling 45s

▸ Do you buy all types of 45s?

We mainly buy soul, funk, R&B, jazz, rock, and private-press 45s — especially rare or promo copies. Common pop 45s usually have little resale value.

▸ Can I text you photos of my 45s?

Yes! Text clear photos of label sides to (630) 544-9733 for a quick response.

▸ Do you buy 7-inch singles outside Illinois?

Yes — we regularly buy from Northwest Indiana and parts of Southwest Michigan. For large or rare collections, we can travel or arrange insured shipping.


What types of 45s do you have?

Obscure, non-hit R&B, Rock and Jazz 45s from the 50s-90s can be valuable 45rpm records, however most hit songs on 45 from this era do not have much, if any value. This is due to them being mass-produced.

Promotional 45s

Do you have white label promo 45s? These were given to radio stations and some record shops. Sometimes these can have better value than the commercial issue copies. Give us a call and we can get you a great cash offer if you have the right types of titles (obscure R&B and Rock).
