Sell Old and Collectible Vinyl Records, Albums

Dusty Groove regularly purchases used vinyl records, LPs, 7" and 12" singles, and CDs from our customers and we pay top dollar for vintage, rare, obscure, one-of-a-kind, and hot items in the genres we love such as jazz records, soul records, hip hop records, funk records, R&B records, blues records, Latin, French, gospel, classical, and many others.

We also make house calls for high-quality collections — call 773-342-5800 or email used@dustygroove.com to make arrangements.

Outside the Chicago Area

We travel the world in search of good record collections — both CD and vinyl records — but we always have to schedule a visit in advance. The best first step is to email used@dustygroove.com with some details of your collection — and we can take it from there.

If you just have a smaller number of CDs to sell, please see the Sell Used CDs Form which makes the whole process very easy.

Also, we do purchase vinyl records through the mail — but it's kind of a tricky business, so pay attention to these details!

• First off, the records have to be in tip-top condition — as it's usually not worth dealing through the mail for dirty or scratched up records.
• Secondly, the records have to be somewhat valuable — as the cost of shipping can be high, so it's usually not worth dealing with records that are only worth a dollar or two.
• Thirdly, we do not accept unsolicited shipments of used vinyl — and any vinyl shipped to us must be proposed and negotiated in advance, so that we can be fair to all parties involved.

We make quotes in advance for any proposed records sold to us via the mail — in a series of email exchanges that can serve as a record for both parties involved. However, in order for us to make the most accurate quotes on your items, it is important that we have as much information on hand as possible.

Remember, we do make house calls and trips across the country for very large collections. Obviously, the cost of such a trip is not cheap so we only do so for large or valuable collections — and we're always happy to discuss that with you if you feel that you have such a collection.

Mailing Used Records & Used CDs

If you are serious about selling records to us through the mail, you must first send us a list of the titles you have available with the following details:

We then respond to your list with a series of quotes on the items which you are always free to accept or dismiss. If you agree to our offers, you then send the records to us at your own expense for final confirmation of the stated conditions and pressing details. At that point, if all the items meet with your proposed grades and pressing details, we pay you for the items in the form of a check or a store credit at Dusty Groove. The choice is up to you, and we want to be as fair as possible — the main thing is that we work out all details in advance, so that there's no surprises at the end of the transaction.
