You can bring your music to us anytime during our regular business hours (Listed at the top of our web site).

HOW MUCH MONEY CAN I EXPECT?
Our offers can vary as widely as our diverse selection. Generally speaking you can expect $1 to $5 per LP for desirable titles in excellent condition. $10 or more for many rare records and less than $1 for common, mainstream and hard-to-sell titles (and more desirable titles with wear to their covers and/or vinyl.) Our prices are based on desirability, condition and pressing. Feel free to call one of our buyers directly at (206) 632-5483 or email us for more specific information regarding your collection. In the meantime we hope the following information will answer some of your questions:

PABLO CRUISE? BARBRA STREISAND?
Pat Benatar? BTO? Bread? The list goes on (and on) but it's inevitable: Even the best collections turn up some very common and hard-to-sell albums. With some exceptions the following categories of music are usually relegated to our budget bins: soft rock, top 40, easy listening, big band and budget label classical LP's. Expect 25¢ or less for many titles within these categories. Our budget bins also include more desirable titles with wear to the vinyl and/or their covers.
