Sell us your Books and Records! We buy great used books and records at both of our stores or at your premises for cash, and can offer you a larger sum in store credit.
We buy records! We pay top dollar in cash for great records! Primarily in the categories of classic rock, new wave, punk, and post-punk, underground, heavy metal, hip-hop, classic soul, R&B, blues, reggae, international, 20th century composers, electronica, classic country, and modern jazz (bop and onward.)
We buy large collections as well: from collectors, from estates, from radio stations, disc jockeys, record reviewers, from stores that have closed, and from people who for one reason or another just need to downsize or let go of their collections. We will travel for great collections!
Books we want:We're especially looking for: current and very recent literary and non-fiction best-sellers (less than one year old), philosophy, recent art and architecture books in great condition only, graphic novels, chess books, scholarly books in all fields, college textbooks in current use, counter-cultural authors. We pay well for the most desirable, hard-to-come-by books, and for more common books in good condition, we'll sometimes only be able to offer store-credit. Unfortunately, we're not able to take everything, as our space is pretty finite. We generally prefer not to buy old textbooks, ex-library books, novelty books, encyclopedias, almanacs, popular fiction hardcovers more than a few years old, old Reader's Digest condensed books, or anything marred or stinky. Basically, we most like to buy the books that most people like to hold onto for themselves.
If you require special accommodations, such as bringing more boxes or buying outside the hours above, please call or email to make an appointment. 412-471-1899 or 412-421-7000.
