Criteria for record purchase

Genre, type and format

We are very flexible! We buy all genres and labels, formats from LP to 12" maxi to 7" single, and special formats like 5", 6", 11". We also welcome box sets, promos and test pressings.

General condition

Of course, your records must play through without skipping and be in generally good condition.

If not ...

If any or all of your records do not meet our specifications, you have the choice: return them for a fee of 3 euros - or we can recycle them.
