Selling Records

May 24, 2008 4:10 PM

Where can I sell some vinyl records in Austin or San Antonio?

I have a stack of records from the late 70s and early 80s that I'm ready to part with, and I've heard there is actually demand for these recently. Any idea where I could sell them in Austin or San Antonio?

i know Half Priced Books Stores will buy them... dunno what kind of price you can get at a place like that though...

Go to Cheapo Disks in Austin.

You'll get more for them if you sell them directly, but that is time-consuming.

If you have anything punk, indie, private press, or otherwise that you suspect might be rare, do a little research on GEMM before you load up to go to the store.

(For info on how records are graded, google "Goldmine record grading".)

Waterloo Records at 6th and Lamar. Avoid Half Priced. Great place to buy but outright insulting what they offer you to sell.
