We get dozens of calls every week from folks all over the country looking to sell their vinyl records. While we’re based in Milwaukee, we understand that not everyone is local—and not every collection justifies a long-distance house call.
That’s why we’ve put together this referral list: a guide to record shops we personally recommend in other cities and regions. Whether you're downsizing a classic rock LP collection, inherited some jazz albums, or want to cash out on rare 45s, these shops are reputable, knowledgeable, and actively buying.
