How Selling Works
1. Call, text, or email us with three things:
• Approximate number of records you have
• The main styles or genres in your collection
• Your location
2. Based on what you tell us, we’ll let you know right away if:
• We recommend you bring them to our store (good-sounding collection, under ~300 records, close by)
• They’re not a fit for what we buy (we’ll let you know politely and may suggest other options)
• We can make a house call (300+ good-sounding records within a reasonable drive)
• A mail deal makes sense (high-value titles with a fair asking price)
3. If we’re a match, we’ll give you a fair ballpark offer and move forward — in person, at your home, or by mail. Most deals are completed the same day.

Frequently Asked Questions – Who Buys Old Records?
Who buys old records in Milwaukee?
We do. We Buy Records Milwaukee pays fair cash offers for LPs and 45s. Start by telling us your approximate record count, the main styles in your collection, and where you’re located. Call or text 414-232-7606, or email andynoble1975@yahoo.com.
What info do you need to give me a ballpark?
Three things: (1) a rough count (e.g., ~200 records), (2) styles/genres (classic rock, jazz, soul 45s, etc.), and (3) your area. With that, we can give you a quick ballpark and the best next step.
When do you ask me to bring records to the shop?
If the collection sounds decent, is under ~300 records, and you’re nearby, we’ll usually suggest a drop-off at our Milwaukee shop for a fast in-person offer.
When do you make a house call?
If you’ve got ~300+ good-sounding records within a reasonable drive of Milwaukee, we can schedule a house call and typically pay on the spot.
When do you recommend a mail deal?
For high-value titles (rare LPs or in-demand 45s) and a reasonable asking price, we’ll set up a secure, insured mail deal with fast payment.
What if my records aren’t a fit?
If the collection isn’t what we buy or you’re too far for typical record sales, we’ll let you know politely and may suggest other options.
How quickly do I get paid?
Most deals are completed the same day—cash in person or immediate electronic payment after inspection.
What formats and styles do you buy?
Primarily LPs and 45s across classic rock, soul, funk, jazz, punk/indie, and hip-hop. We also consider select box sets and audiophile pressings. We also buy certain CDs and cassette tapes, see more info about that here!
