Record Collections I Buy Across Maricopa County
Albums and LPs (33s) in collections of 200 records or more, mostly rock, soul, jazz and R&B. Here's exactly what I buy, what I pay and what I pass on, so you know before you call.
What Kind of Records Are Worth Selling?
Collections of 200+ vinyl albums that are mostly rock, soul, funk, jazz, blues or R&B, plus newer LPs from the 2000s to today. I don't buy CDs, cassettes, 78s, easy listening, classical, opera, big band, musicals, foreign-language music or records from the 1940s and 1950s.
What I Pay Per Record
Original LPs, bought as a whole collection.
Newer pressings, reissues and sealed records, bought in bulk.
Prices are for whole collections. Artists, genres and condition decide where you land in the range.
How Many Records Do You Have?

If it's mostly rock, soul, jazz or R&B, I may still make an offer.
Try a Record Store
A local record store buys small stacks and usually pays the same day.
What I'm Looking For

You don't need these exact artists. They're examples of what makes a collection a good fit.

What Affects the Price
Raises it: clean vinyl, intact covers and inner sleeves, original pressings, and strong rock, soul, jazz and R&B artists. Sealed and newer records are always welcome.
Lowers it: deep scratches, warps, mold, water damage and torn or moldy covers. Badly damaged records may be left out.
Not a fit: collections that are mostly easy listening, holiday or orchestra records.
Boxed, crated or still on the shelf, it doesn't matter. I'll pack and load everything myself.

What I Buy: Common Questions
Do you buy 45s?
No, I only buy albums. Call Keith at 602-321-4330 for 45s, CDs and cassettes.
Do you buy records with damaged covers?
Yes, as part of a larger collection, but heavy damage, mold or water damage lowers the price or rules a record out.
Do you buy newer or sealed records?
Yes. Records from the 2000s to today pay $5 to $10 each in bulk, and sealed records are always welcome.
Do you buy classical or easy listening records?
No. Classical, opera, easy listening, big band, musicals and foreign-language records aren't a fit.
