Sell Us Your Records
Music Ed Cafe buys record collections and lots, and every record is looked at individually. If you have records you'd like to see go to a good home, we'd love to hear about them.
A fair offer for every record
We review every record and make a fair offer. Clear photos of each jacket and its vinyl let us grade them properly and get back to you faster.
The offer is final once we've seen the records and they match the photos.
What we're looking for
Yes, please: soul, R&B, jazz, rock, funk, hip-hop and classic pop LPs and 45s in good condition.
Usually not: water-damaged or moldy records, heavily scratched records, and common easy-listening or orchestral records in bulk. If you're not sure, ask anyway, we're friendly about it.
How it works
- Send us the details and photos. Use the form below: a photo of each jacket and its vinyl.
- Get an offer. We'll email you after we've looked things over.
- Ship it or meet up. Whichever works for the lot.
We cover shipping. If you're shipping, we'll send you a prepaid label.
Local pickup or drop-off around Lynn and the North Shore can be arranged by appointment.
Packing tips
If you're shipping, we'll email you a prepaid USPS Media Mail label, so there's nothing for you to pay. Delivery usually takes about 2–8 business days.
- Weigh the packed box and tell us the weight, so the label is right.
- Use a strong double-wall box with cushioning on every side.
- Ship records standing vertically, never flat in a stack.
- If the fit is tight, take the records out of their outer sleeves.
