Sell Us Your Records for $1 or More Each: Multi-Genre Buying List

Below our YouTube video is a multi-genre list of artists and labels on LP we can pay at least $1 for. There are many other artists, too numerous to list, that we can pay $1 and up for. We can pay much more for certain hard to find items. Most other artists will be worth 25 cents or less based on supply and demand. On CD, there are many more artists worth at least $1 to us, as well as many major-label classical and opera recordings and others. Also, many more CDs are worth 10 cents to 25 cents to us. Many CDs are of no interest to us. We look forward to hearing from you.

CD and Record Collection Buying Guide: We Pay at Least $1 Per Title for Most Artists & Labels Listed Below (Revised 6-27-11)

PLEASE CHECK CONDITIONS AS BEST AS POSSIBLE AS CHECKING / CLEANING IS TIME CONSUMING FOR US AND A FACTOR IN PRICES WE CAN PAY: AVOID most of these artists on Budget Labels (like Pickwick & Camden). Most budget labels as well as many artists that we do not buy are listed on our Avoid List, PREX.com/no. In many cases prices are very conservative and many be substantially higher. Scratches, scuffs, mold, and other damage will substantially reduce the value.
