We buy vinyl record collections. We focus on buying rock, jazz, blues, reggae, folk, 20th century modern composers, and world music. However, the occasional soundtrack, country or classical record is sometimes included. We deal with collections ranging from a minimum of 100 items, to 200,000+. Size does not scare us, in fact, we rather like large projects.
We are based in the Holyoke, Massachusetts area, and regularly travel the New England and mid-Atlantic region to purchase records. For large collections of interest, we will travel far and wide.
