Ways To Sell Your Old Vinyl Records in Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Ways To Sell Your Old Vinyl Records in Milwaukee, Wisconsin

If you’re in Milwaukee or Southeast Wisconsin and want to sell a box — or a whole basement — of old vinyl records, here’s the honest local guide. Some methods are slow or frustrating, while others (like our local service) are fast and hassle-free.

1. Selling Records Online (Good in Theory, Difficult in Practice)

Platforms like Discogs and eBay attract serious collectors — but they also demand serious work.

  • Accurate vinyl grading is required
  • You must understand pressing variations
  • Customer questions, returns, and disputes are common
  • Packing and shipping vinyl is time-consuming and risky
  • Fees reduce your payout

2. Facebook Marketplace (Convenient… But Often Frustrating)

Many Milwaukee sellers try Facebook Marketplace first — but quickly run into:

  • Relentless lowballing
  • No-shows and flaky communication
  • Buyers cherry-picking your best titles
  • Slow sales if you have more than 20–30 records

Marketplace works fine for a few stray records — but not large collections.
