Our Buying Process
Initial Contact: When you contact DJ Records USA about your collection, we’ll start by asking a few key questions to get a general understanding of what you have. This helps us prepare for the evaluation and ensures we match you with the most knowledgeable buyer for your collection.
Key questions we might ask:
- What genres are represented in your collection?
- What era are most of the records from?
- Are they primarily LPs, 45s, or a mix?
- Do you know of any rare or valuable items?
- How have the records been stored?
- Approximately how many records are in the collection?
Evaluation Criteria
When evaluating a vinyl record collection, we consider several factors:
a) Types of Records:

- Era (e.g., 1950s jazz, 1960s rock, 1970s disco)
- Genres represented
b) Condition:
- Vinyl condition: We look for scratches, warping, and other signs of wear
- Sleeve condition: Original sleeves are preferred, and their condition matters

- First pressings or limited editions
- Promotional copies
