Record buying – we buy your LP collection

Would you like to sell your old records? We are your specialist partner for buying curated music libraries and well-kept vinyl – not a ‘flea-market trader’, but buying selectively for musical quality.

  • ● 3–4 photos of the record spines are enough
  • ● Collection possible in the Rhineland/NRW
  • ● Secure shipping from all over Germany

Save yourself the tedious business of selling records one by one on online marketplaces. We offer you a professional valuation, fair handling and immediate payment. Whether we buy on site in Neuss, Düsseldorf, Cologne or by post from all over Germany – we make it easy for you.

What we are looking for

We are particularly interested in record collections that have been built up with passion over the years. We buy a range of formats:

LPs (12")

Wide-ranging: from pop, rock & dance through to jazz.

Maxi singles

Mainly 70s, 80s and 90s (all genres). Please note: house and rap from the mid-90s onwards only selectively.

7" Singles

All genres (pop, rock, punk, rare funk). Also Schlager and NDW – no ‘mass-market chart hits’.

Rock, Pop & Metal

Our main focus is on rock and pop. From classics such as Abba and Boney M deep into psych/prog/krautrock. Also punk, wave, alternative and metal. We value first pressings particularly highly.

Jazz, Soul & Funk

Jazz collections call for experience. Whether Blue Note or Impulse: we know their value to collectors. Even if the names mean nothing to you – we recognise the treasures.

GDR & Amiga

Many dealers turn down East German pressings across the board – we do not. We know the Amiga catalogue and distinguish precisely between ‘mass-produced stock’ and sought-after rarities.

Condition & quality

The value of your record collection stands or falls with its condition (‘grading’). As we resell records worldwide, clear criteria apply.

The vinyl

Should play well. Light ‘hairlines’ are normal – deep scratches (‘skips’) are a problem.

The cover

As clean as possible. Water damage or a strong musty cellar smell reduces the value considerably.

How it works

1

Preparation

Handling & collection

For suitable collections: collection in the Neuss, Düsseldorf, Cologne area (NRW) with cash payment.

4

Shipping

Further away? We arrange secure shipping and help with the packing.

What we do NOT buy

No collections consisting solely of German folk music, classical music or ‘hit parade’ compilations – these usually have no resale value. Please note: we are happy to look at Schlager by individual artists, even though these are often hard to sell.
