On Buying
We are a “maximalist” buyer. We buy full collections and do not cherry-pick. We believe that we may be able to find a buyer for 85-90% of records bought eventually if not through our store, then through another channel. The remainder of the records we buy from you that may never sell at market prices, we try to offload at about 35 cents a piece in bulk. We can also give you more money in store credit if that’s what you are looking for.
On Selling
We try to be competitive with online prices (before shipping costs). For example, if a record is $5 online with $5 shipping. we will likely charge you $4-$5 and not $10. I mean, we need a reason for you to come into our store! If you have records to sell just call/text us at 732-996-3224 We are down to earth, not record snobs.
On Values: Customer Service is #1
We greet customers when they walk into our store and we won’t ask you a million questions on what you want. If we see you walking out empty-handed, we may ask if you were looking for something that you didn’t find or if the record you wanted wasn’t in stock and maybe we can text you if it gets in stock.
