We use the Goldmine grading standard — the industry benchmark for vinyl condition — and grade the media (the record itself) and sleeve separately. Every album is play-graded and visually inspected under direct light before it is priced and listed. When there's any doubt, we grade down. See our full condition guide for a breakdown of each grade.
Yes. Every record is play-graded — we put it on the turntable and listen — in addition to a visual inspection under direct light. If we hear something the visual didn't catch, the grade reflects it. What you read in the listing is what's actually on the record.
We ship twice a week. Once your order is packed and on its way you'll receive a tracking number automatically. See our shipping page for full details.
We currently ship via USPS Media Mail exclusively. Media Mail is the most cost-effective option for vinyl and keeps your shipping costs low. Transit times are typically 2–8 business days depending on your location.
Yes — multiple records ship together in one mailer whenever possible. Shipping is calculated at checkout based on the actual weight of your order.
All vinyl is sold as-is. We do not accept returns. That said, we stand behind our grading — every record is play-graded and priced to match its actual condition before it ships. If something arrives damaged in transit, reach out and we'll do our best to make it right.
Absolutely — this is one of our favorite things to do. We've been digging through inventory and sourcing records for a long time and have a decent network to pull from. Email us with what you're after (artist, title, pressing info, country of origin, catalog number if you have it) and we'll let you know if we have it buried somewhere or can point you in the right direction.
Since 2012. We started on Discogs and eventually built this site to give us more control over the experience. Over a decade of online sales, tens of thousands of records shipped.
We have well over 30,000 albums in the collection — and we've only made it through about 15% of what we have. We list new records regularly, so check back often or sign up for our email list to hear about new arrivals.
We're based in middle Tennessee (Nashville area). A physical location is in the planning stages — more information coming soon. In the meantime, everything is available right here online.
We do buy collections from time to time. Email us with details about what you have — artist, quantity, general condition — and we'll get back to you.
We're a small operation based in the Nashville, TN area and we respond to every inquiry personally — usually within one business day. Looking for a specific pressing or have a collection to sell? Include as much detail as you can.
