Question 1

How do I know if I have LPs, 45s, 12-inch singles, or 78s?

Accepted Answer

LPs are 12-inch records that play at 33 RPM with multiple songs per side, typically packaged in cardboard covers. 45s are smaller 7-inch records with one song per side and a large center hole. 12-inch singles are LP-sized but contain only one song per side and were made for DJs. 78s are 10-inch records made of shellac (not vinyl) with one song per side and are quite fragile.

Question 2

How much are my records worth?

Accepted Answer

Record values vary based on artist, title, condition, and pressing details. We provide free, no-obligation evaluations to help determine the value of your collection. Submit our Instant Contact Form or call (888) 993-4673 to discuss your collection.

Question 3

Do my records need their original covers?

Accepted Answer

For maximum value, LPs should have their original covers. We do purchase unsleeved 45s and 78s in good condition.

Question 4

What condition do my records need to be in?

Accepted Answer

We buy records in all conditions, provided they are titles we are interested in. We pay premium prices for well-maintained vinyl. Artist, title, and condition are interrelated factors when determining value. Some records we will purchase only when condition impresses us, while others are unusual enough that we will purchase in almost any condition.
