We buy far more than just one kind of record.

If you are asking what types of records Mr Vinyl Records LLC buys, the simple answer is that we buy many different kinds of collections. That includes collectible vinyl, mixed-genre collections, older specialty formats, and music collections that come with CDs or audio equipment.

We are not limited to one format or one era. We regularly look at jazz records, psychedelic records, classic rock records, classical records, soul records, Northern soul, 78 RPM records, and other interesting collections that have resale, collector, or archival value.

What we generally avoid

We usually stay away from records that are extremely common, in very poor condition, heavily scratched, badly water damaged, or otherwise difficult to resell. That said, if you are unsure, it is still worth asking. We can often save you time by telling you what is worth focusing on.

Do you buy all record formats? Yes. We look at 78s, LPs, 45s, mixed vinyl collections, and specialty releases.
Do you buy more than vinyl? Yes. We also buy CDs, turntables, amplifiers, receivers, speakers, and related audio equipment.
Do you buy estate collections? Yes. If you are dealing with a larger household cleanout, inherited collection, or estate situation, see our large collections page.

78 RPM records

Do you buy CDs and audio equipment too?

Yes. Many sellers have more than records. If your collection includes CDs or stereo gear, we may be able to help with that too.

What makes a record collection worth reviewing?

People often assume value is only about age. In reality, value usually comes from a mix of genre, rarity, pressing, condition, label, demand, and overall collection quality.

Reasons a collection may be worth more

  • Strong genres like jazz, psych, soul, collectible rock, and specialty pressings
  • Original pressings, private labels, imports, promo copies, or niche releases
  • Large collections with depth instead of just a few common titles
  • Better condition, clean sleeves, and records that have been stored properly
  • Related audio equipment such as receivers, turntables, and amplifiers

Reasons a collection may be worth less

  • Very common easy-listening or mass-market titles with little collector demand
  • Heavy scratching, water damage, mildew, missing sleeves, or warped records
  • Loose mixed lots with little organization and mostly common reissues
  • Collections that were kept in poor storage conditions for a long time
  • Large quantity alone without quality, rarity, or demand behind it
